Which MSc To Choose for IB in London? RSM, HSG, WHU, SSE , ESSEC , ESCP

Hi everyone I would like to know the ranking for these schools whilst aiming for a career in London. Through past post I’ve concluded that:

HSG > ESSEC = WHU = SSE > RSM = ESCP

is this accurate?

 Cannot agree.

I would Say: HSG > ESCP >= ESSEC > SSE = WHU > RSM

Do not underestimate the fact that ESCP sponsors visas for students who complete one year at their London campus. Considering that classes run from September to April, you will have four months covered by the university—a significant advantage compared to other universities. Additionally, the alumni network is very active in London, and studying there provides the opportunity to meet and connect with finance professionals.

 

ESCP will never be superior than ESSEC even with visa sponsors. ESSEC is anchored internationally and benefits from having campuses in finance centers like Singapore. 90% of French students of who get admission to both essec and escp choose essec…

From your comments I saw that you can speak french, so I would choose ESSEC or ESCP over all the other schools you mentioned. Firstly, you can fully benefit from the French network and, secondly, you will have a very good placement into French IB. I know that your target is London, but in whatever case you dont make it you can still first join French IB and then lateral to London later on.
