University vs Business School
Hi,
Is there a big difference placement/prestige wise between universities and their business schools? For Example Bocconi and SDA Bocconi or Oxford and Oxford Said
Thanks.
Bocconi no, Oxford yes - Said is well known but not as great as the Oxford name is for UG courses. But sometimes B-schools don't have to exist for a name to be solid; LSE doesn't have one and is a UK target for IB and MC (depending on what course you take). Or at times the reverse is true; WBS is a better name than Warwick uni alone. What I mean by this is that if you wanted to take any non-business courses there are better options that Warwick uni but for business-related courses, WBS is in the top 7 in the UK.
E.g. [also, take rankings with a pinch of salt but these illustrate my point]. Take WBS' MFin and MiM. They are 6th (https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/business-masters-ra…) and 4th (https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/business-masters-ra…) respectively in the UK (filtering by UK).
But if you take other subjects such as History, CS or Medicine Warwick Uni ranks 9th (https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-…), 12th (https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-…) and 25th (https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-…) respectively in the UK
TLDR; yes, so check the reputation of the B-school as well as the overall uni.
And Bocconi Uni >>>> SDA Bocconi.
Agreed.
WMI/Warwick Econ/Warwick Physics/Warwick Stats are much more impressive than WBS. That said, all of Warwick gets access to recruiting so it's not like those departments have a monopoly or anything.
Bocconi Uni Masters/UG is way better than their MBA and other programs in SDA.
Thanks for your input. The thing is I am planning to study finance at SDA Bocconi but in every ranking only Bocconi appears. So I am confused if they just merge SDA and Universitá as "Bocconi" or if SDA Bocconi is just bad and that is the reason why it doesn't appear.
Yes, I think for those rankings they include it in Bocconi.
Bocconi Msc Finance (graduate school) >>>>> every other programme at Bocconi
btw the guy who threw shit on my reply probably studied/is currently enrolled at WBS lol. Don't be mad mate, chill out, the unemployment is coming
What are you on about? WBS is a top brand in the UK...
Yep , after all the courses at LSE/LBS/Oxbridge/Imperial and maybe some courses at UCL. Maybe even Economic history from LSE has a better placement.
