Paris Dauphine vs ESCP vs ESSEC vs Cass vs RSM

Which one?
Paris Dauphine master financial markets, taught in Eng, I heard good about placement for IBD and markets, 2 years w 2 internship compulsory
ESCP Master in Management in London - Paris, 2 years (cons: is management)
ESSEC MSc finance - 1 year
Cass MSc Finance - 1 year (cons: London and Brexit made me doubtful about Uk)
RSM or SSE for CEMS

Italian citizen, I make no secret that i would like to work in Paris London or in USA in Investment Banking.

PS: Bocconi is my first pick but it's hard to access without good GPA, so these are alternatives suitable with my GPA and CV

PPS: those cost relative less than LSE/LBS and others.. and due to the fact that i pay the MSc with my money, the cost is relative important in my choice

I'm a graduating student from one of the French grandes ecoles you mentioned

Reputation-wise (in France) they generally rank HEC>ESSEC>ESCP, with HEC fares slightly better in London placement than ESSEC and ESCP Depending on your course, only MSc 203 of Paris Dauphine is considered on par (for S&T) with these schools ESCP could fare better given you have a summer to do SA plus study in both London & Paris, therefore multiple OCR

can't speak about Cass or RSM, but would consider Cass if you're set on working in the UK

 

Great! I'm actually at ESC Rennes, and is really a good one. HEC is a bit out of my possibility due to my GPA, but the others are so good. For the IBD you think the MsC 203 is good? I read the program and looks good, and by the way they have 2 years program so it suit good for the Italian accreditation (they consider MsC only the ones of 2 years, the 1 years program are master of second level in Italy)
