Target schools for undergraduate profram for IB in mainland Europe(excluding UK)

Good evening to all. I am a final year IBDP student and I am looking at universites to apply to pursue a career in IB. My academics, without trying to sound pretentious, are pretty strong, but I need a hand from all you experienced professionals in finding which schools to apply to. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S I am applying, of course, for a bachelor's program( in economics,business or finance)

Every hardo will recommend their own alma mater but I believe the below should be consensus...

  • Bocconi: very strong pipeline towards London IB
  • HSG: strong pipeline towards London IB, very strong pipeline towards Frankfurt IB
  • HEC: has a new BSc with Bocconi. Unproven but MSc very strong pipeline towards London IB and Paris IB

There are many more that place well but I believe those are the names you hear most of in IB

 

Top 3 are:
SSE
Bocconi
HSG

RSM is not bad. but tier below the above.

no clue about the HEC Bsc as it’s new. might be good.
