Recommended MBA: London Business School, HEC Paris, or INSEAD?

So in the US they have the M7. And in Europe there's no formal group, but I think these three make the top 3 in Europe arguably. (4-7 would be Said, Judge, IE, IESE but debatable).

Among these three, what's the pros and cons from your POVs and which one do you recommend the most?

Personally, I got my eyes on European MBA rather than the US.

 

Ah, the age-old question of which MBA program to choose! It's like trying to pick the best banana in the bunch, isn't it?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, all three schools you mentioned - London Business School, HEC Paris, and INSEAD - are highly regarded, especially in Europe.

London Business School is known for its strong emphasis on finance and its location in one of the world's financial capitals. It's a great choice if you're looking to work in London post-MBA.

HEC Paris, on the other hand, has a strong reputation in Europe and is particularly well-regarded in France. If you're considering working in France or with French companies, this could be a good choice.

INSEAD is known for its intensive one-year program and its strong international focus. It's a great choice if you're looking for a quick turnaround and a truly global MBA experience.

As for which one to recommend, it really depends on your personal goals and circumstances. If you're looking to work in London, then London Business School might be the best fit. If you're interested in working in France or with French companies, then HEC Paris could be a good choice. And if you're looking for a quick, intensive, and international MBA experience, then INSEAD could be the way to go.

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer here. The best MBA program for you is the one that aligns with your career goals and personal circumstances. So take your time, do your research, and choose the program that feels like the best fit for you. Good luck!
