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!

From what I have heard EDHEC>SSE>St. Gallen. I think all of them can be considered target schools for London and continental Europe, but not so much for the U.S. You might also want to take a look at Bocconi. If IB is what you are after, than it is pretty much the best non-U.K Msc in Finance with great representation in London.
EDHEC Is top 5 in France, HSG is top 1 in German-speaking Europe, SSE is top 2 in Nordic Europe. Neither places particularly well outside their respective regions.
Thanks, Are you Sure about EDHEC being #5 in france for finance?
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.

Thank you for any insights!
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
Thanks Paria, good reasons ;). Excluding all other factors besides reputation, what is your choice?
Still SSE, they have a ton of alums at the BBs in London.
SSE
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
I'd say SSE as well but you already have 2 x BB internships, go to EDHEC and enjoy the beach and weather
