EDHEC vs SSE vs. Sankt Gallen

Hi guys,

I did internships in M&A and distressed debt, both at BB banks. I did my BSc in Business. I am considering the schools in the topic for my masters degree. Do you have any insights about reputation in London/ cont. Europe/ US?

EDHEC (Financial Markets), SSE (Finance), Sankt Gallen (Banking and finance)

Thank you for any insights!

EDHEC is particularly strong in finance RESEARCH, especially in risk mgmt.

but i don't think niche research strengths are that important for students who are not interested in academic careers. for me EDHEC is below HEC/ESCP/ESSEC and is facing very strong competition from EM Lyons for 4th/5th.

all 3 are fine. I would choose SSE for the following reasons: -It's Free -Blonde Swedish chicks -2 years so you get to do an internship -They have very good exchange programs (LSE, Wharton, Columbia, Cornell...) -Blonde Swedish chicks

 

I spent a semester at St. Gallen on study abroad and it has a very strong brand in the Germanic area. I ended up getting a PE job after and almost everyone at the firm was an alumni of St. Gallen
