    Bocconi, RSM or UvA?
    Hi guys,


    I would like to go international and study Economics and Business at Bachelor level somewhere in Europe's best schools.

    Yet I have offers from the following institutions:

    1. Bocconi University, Milan - BIEMF
    2. University of Amsterdam - Economics and Business
    3. Erasmus University Rotterdam - IBA, IBEB

    Considering the quality of tuition, the reputation of the degree, the scholarship opportunities, etc. which do you think will be the best decision for me?

    Thanks in advance for your answer

    Deciding between RSM and Maastricht.
    Bocconi's course looked a bit weird.

    Ah ok yeah I am not thinking of Bocconi as well because of things I am hearing on TSR. I have applied for IBEB at Erasmus. Do you think IBA is better? I want to work in Investment Banking (who doesn't lol). Also, I have an offer from Bath for Economics is that better than these universities. Your advice will be priceless, thanks!

    People say that IBA is more renowned than IBEB.
    But your choice is more depending on wheter you want to study management or economics.
    I'd go for Bath, especially if you wanna work in London. It's a mid-target university for IB, but Econ in the UK opens a lot of doors and it remains a good uni.

    Yeah I think I prefer Economics at the moment and looking at the IBA course only the first year covers some of an Economics degree. So I think I would be more inclined to take the IBEB. Having said that, I think Bath Economics is probably superior? Thanks for the advice!

    Yes Bath Econ > IBEB.
    It'd be my choice if i was able to apply to Bath and UK universities in general.
