Hello,
if I received a Bachelor in Business Administration from the University of St.Gallen, how would my chances of getting accepted as an analyst in IB in M&A at a BB in London or NY be?
And does it matter if I study Business Administration in English or German?
Thanks in advance.

Lot of "if" questions there, chief. All about how hard you work.
Hi buddy,
The school name is quite storng. A friend of mine from HSG is doing a summer internship at JP in London. They place very well and some banks in London seek out German speakers for DACH coverage so if you know German it's extra points.
actually I’m from Germany and a native German speaker, that’s why I’m asking if it would be better to study in English
In general I think so. Doing the course in German won't improve your German but doing it in English will help your English
Frankly, the language in which your classes are given is not of relevance at all. I highly doubt that recruiters are even aware of whether or not you took English-language classes at university.
On a side note, there are so many different ways nowadays in which you can improve your English (if need be) so that you shouldn't have to rely on your lectures to get up to speed with your English language skills.
Wenn ich ehrlich bin, glaube ich auch nicht, dass die Muttersprachler hier sich in deine Situation hineinversetzen können und die richtigen Adressaten für deine Fragen sind.
So you think it doesn’t matter if I study it in English or German assuming my English is good enough for the job generally.
Nun, können Sie mir weiterhelfen?
Vielen Dank

It shouldn't really matter, but it would also be a good idea to take some business classes in English to familiarize yourself with specific terms. Eigentlich, was du willst! Es kann nur aber hilfreich sein
This. Definitely take any chance you can get to improve your English but don't fret about it.
