RSM vs SSE

Hi everyone,

I’m a last year high school student who is deciding which university to attend.

Which uni is better for IB or Consulting as a Spanish student who speak Spanish, English and French (no local languages):

- Rotterdam School of Management: Internatinal Business Administration.

- Stockholm School of Economics: Business & Economics.

I know both unis would probably require a masters afterwards, but which is better?

Would go to RSM as you are Spanish. SSE is great but mainly if you are from the Nordics. RSM program is much larger than SSE with 650 Students versus 350 for SSE. Also, talking about alumni, RSM (57000+) so just the business school has close to 1.5 times the total alumni of the entire SSE (37000+), and close to 4 times that if you take the entire Erasmus university alumni (175000+). That allows for much more diversity in both nationalities and opportunities/outcomes afterwards. In RSM more than 80% of IBA students are international so that helps in finding friends very easily (under 50% at SSE). 

Both are relatively cheap as a EU national so you can save up and aim for the top UK master afterwards (LSE, LBS or Oxford)!

 

Thanks!!

How is RSM IBA regarded for finance and consulting in London? How good is its recognition and networking through Europe?
