Tilburg vs. Maastricht for Msc Finance?
Since I was rejected from SSE and RSM Msc Finance programs (too low GPA) I am looking for an alternative. I initial thought was to go with Tilburg since it is quite well known and has also a partnership with CFA. Now I have also looked at Maastricht University Asset Pricing program. It says in the web site: "Unique to this track, you will have the chance to go to London and Frankfurt on a ‘banking tour’. You will have the opportunity to meet banking professionals, talk about the strategy and culture of their financial institutions, discuss your thesis and look into your career possibilities." With two rejections from top universities I have already given up hope to break into major Investment Banking. Could the Maastricht Finance program be my last hope or is it just some marketing BS?
I was aware of Tilburg and, from my understanding, it should be the second best program in the Netherlands and, maybe, the top one for Finance. I think the best thing you can do is to linkedin and google people from those universities and see how they have been placing in London and pick the one with the most developed network.
I'm working at Tilburg University so you might attach more value to the opinion of students. But I just wanted to let you know that recently Tilburg ranked #3 in Europe on Finance Research (and #1 in the Netherlands). You can read more on http://www.tilburguniversity.edu/about-tilburg-university/schools/econo… But if you would like to know more please feel free to email me at [email protected]. I might also be able to bring you in touch with a current student so you can ask them how they like it in Tilburg.
I have hardly ever come across somebody from Tilburg in finance in London but have seen more and more people from Maastricht within the BBs and some of the bigger buyside names. Think the school has done a pretty good job placement wise over the past few years with the sentiment that it continuously is improving. I think Tilburg is just too NL focused to be honest.
