Vanderbilt MSF or Frankfurt School of Finance and Management MSc Finance

Hey everyone,

I am currently pondering whether to attend Vanderbilt's MSF program or Frankfurt School of Finance and Management's MSc Finance program.

I am non-EU and not an american.

Where would I have a better chance to break in into the IB industry?

Would the current situation about the Brexit make it harder to break into IB in Europe?

Would really appreciate anyones input.

Please help!

I'd go with Vanderbilt. They have a small group of internationals and work hard to find them sponsorship. I think you'll have a better time going about it in the US than in Germany.

 

Even I'm gonna do MSF or Investment Management, My target is buy side Jobs, Since I'm more interested in dealing with Financial markets. I shortlisted some schools, Cass MSF or Investment Management, Vanderbilt MSF, Edinburgh, Strathclyde, University of Illinois, EDHEC, HEC. My UG is Mechanical Engineering from India. My dream is to work in London or Boston , NY, Greenwich, Connecticut. Please recommend any other schools would get me there

 

Why the University of Illinois if you are trying to work on the east coast ? Villanova, Boston College, MIT, and UVA(if you have less than a year of work experience), would all be better options than U of I.
