Undergrad Tier List for London across Europe
This is according to the collective experience amongst my seniors as well as many posts on WSO and is particularly focused on BBIB/MBB. Tier 1 - Oxford, Cambridge Tier 1.25 - LSE Tier 1.5 - Imperial, Bocconi, Warwick, UCL Tier 2 - Durham, Edinburgh, Nottingham, KCL, RSM, HSG, SSE Tier 3 - Bath, Bristol, UCD, Trinity, WHU Tier 4 - Other Russell Group Universities + Mannheim, IE, ESSEC BBA, WU Vienna
T1-T1.5 = Target; T2 = Semi Target; T3 = Lesser Semi Target; T4 = Close to Non-Target
Is this comprehensive? Any corrections?
Edit : Added Manchester to the Russell group and replaced its tier 2 position with Nottingham, bumped RSM and HSG from Tier 3 to Tier 2, added UCD and Trinity to Tier 3, Added SSE and WHU and WU to the list, also gave a label for tiers
Drop Imperial to Tier 3 (they have a new bachelor that will take several years to arrive at a decent spot). RSM and HSG should be in tier 1.5. Drop UCL to tier 2.
Where would you place WU Vienna?
Looks good, but I would probably add SSE and WHU in tier 4
KCL and Manchester way too high
The british bias is strong in that ranking
Edit: Now it's much better
RIP French business schools and Nottingham
Well, as we are excluding prepa/PGE it is pretty hard to land a job in London coming from French BBA or equivalent without an Msc. The ranking itself is not adapted to include French cursus as they are mostly 5 years (fair choice from the author as the topic is designed for foreigners).
UCD economics and finance as well as Trinity college dublin sends people to London each year
Putting Manchester and Durham in the same tier is categorically insane.
Which one is better in your opinion?
Durham, easily.
Thanks, may I also ask you about your experiences with Durham/people you know who went there?
They're a bunch of posh wankers but the school places well.
in Spain, ICADE and ESADE are way better than IE for undergrad in terms of everything. Just look at the placement. What is good about IE are its Masters in Finance, but not undergrad
and even... for its price... questionable...
Much better after corrections.
University of Leeds is a non-target even for uk?
When I look at this list, it is abundantly clear to me why is the US so economically and technologically advanced relative to UK and Europe
For IB in London, would a undergrad in bocconi or Warwick be better?
Warwick and by far (for masters it is different).
why?
I'd disagree. Ive seen way more SAs in London from Bocconi than Warwick
UK unis are way too highly rated (besides Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, UCL) vs continental unis. The way to think about it is there are 4 global targets (Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial) and then 2-3 additional targets per countries which are sinks for local talents
100% Agree. At least in IB in London, I see as many kids from HEC/St Gallen/Bocconi as kids from Oxbridge/LSE
