WHU vs Frankfurt School of Finance for an Indian Student to break into IB

Good day, everybody. Which university would you recommend for a masters in finance for an Indian student who completed the CFA and has 2 years of work experience at Goldman Sachs and Ambit Capital (Tier 1.5 Indian IB). Language shouldn't be an issue as I would complete B2 german halfway into my program.

Thanks in advance!

Both are great Master programs and place very well. If you are already certain of going into Frankfurt IB then choose FSFM because of location advantage and its strong finance focus. On the opposite, WHU is literally in the nowhere and has a more diverse focus (i.e. also entrepreneurship & consulting). Still WHU also has a very strong IB placement, but I think FSFM has a certain edge when it comes to finance because of mentioned reasons.
