What value is this MSci Financial Markets & Investments from Skema University (Ranked 6th by Financial Times)?

Hey guys,

I am finishing my Bachelor Degree and I am looking for more street cred to be able to apply to some of the bigger asset managers, banks and firms. My goal is to go the asset-manager route, going from Equity Research to eventually a Portfolio Manager.

The program is called MSci Financial Markets & Investments at SKEMA Univeristy in Paris. Financial Times ranked it 6th globally for pre-experience Masters. The program seems great with industry professionals teaching it and hands on courses discussing current themes.

The MSci program is ranked highly, however on a school level, SKEMA isn't amoung the elite in France. Some rankings I found on a forum pointed to this: [these could be debatable] Group A+: HEC, ESSEC, ESCP Group A-: EM Lyon, EDHEC, Group B+: Audencia, Grenoble EM Group B-: ESC Toulouse, SKEMA, Neoma, Kedge

My questions to you guys are:

The school is still in the top 10 in France but it is not HEC, ESSEC, ESCP which I know are the top targeted schools. What job opportunities (globally) can I expect out of this MSci Financial Markets & Investments degree from Skema?

Would this program give me the international and 'street cred' exposure I seek?

Have you heard of this program or anyone in it, do you have any feedback regarding it?

Thank you for your time and feedback!
