Which EU Master (German)

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering which Masters to choose. It is significant to know that I'm German and will complete my Bachelors at WHU (and have an offer for the Masters as well). Therefore, I'm only looking at schools which will have better Recruitment (in Frankfurt and London) than WHU.

Obviously, HSG, LSE, LBS, Oxbridge, Imperial (maybe warwick?) will be superior to WHU for my criteria. But what about other continental European schools? Are Bocconi, HEC, SSE, ESADE and IE only better for natives of the respective countries?

Furthermore, how would you rank the following schools for Frankfurt and London?:

  • Nova/Catholica

  • RSM

  • ESCP

I read online:

Oxbridge/LSE/LBS/HEC/HSG/Bocconi > SSE/ESCP = WHU > RSM/Nova/ESADE/IE/Mannheim for placement in London and Frankfurt. Is that correct?

Since I already have an offer from WHU I would then only apply to SSE, ESCP, Bocconi, HEC, Imperial and maybe Warwick.

For LDN Escp>Rsm>nova And btw Oxford hsg Hec etc are not in the same tier (oxb/lse/lbs > hec/Bocconi/Imperial (maybe hsg) > sse>escp/essec and then the others you mentioned. Warwick (for postgraduate) is not as competitive as Bocconi/Hec/Imperial) Don’t know about Frankfurt placement, but I reckon that Hsg, whu, frankfurt business school, ESMT and Mannheim have good placement there.
