MSc Finance in Europe after LSE Undergrad

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to ask for some advice. I was looking to do a masters in Europe as the UK is pretty expensive. How would you say is SSE? I did my Bachelors from LSE and have done an internships in Markets in 2nd year in a small firm and 3rd year a BB. Unfortunately I was unable to convert the last one so applying to jobs/internships this year. Have had interviews but haven't been able to get through the final stage.

I want to go into Trading/Markets so wondered what was your opinion on this given my background. Is SSE recognised by London as great/good for it?

How would you compare this to the following:
- HEC Paris (I know it's one of the best ones, but quite competitive)
- ESADE
- EDHEC
- ESCP
- Boconni

Thank you :smile:

I heard that SSE is quite respected, at least for economics (maybe not so for finance though). HEC Paris is indeed the most prestigious on your list, so try getting there if you can. In France, also look at ESSEC and École Polytechnique - they are excellent schools, particularly the latter. Furthermore, add WHU to your options. People from there go to work at places like Blackstone. Bocconi is quite decent as well, though apparently not very hard to get into. Can't say much about ESADE, EDHEC and ESCP. Oh, and if you decide to get some work experience before doing a masters, throw INSEAD into your list.

wouldn't comment about the insead masters in finance.it is relatively new but am sure it would be in the top 5 in europe in the coming years

Insead for mba would be much better than for finance masters

Most of the schools you mentioned are not much cheaper than LSE. So I do not get your reasoning.

If you want value for money, then SSE or St Gallen, or Erasmus Uni in Rotterdam are probably excellent options. All offer CEMS, and you can leverage CEMS to go to "expensive" schools such as LSE, or Ivey or ESADE, HEC etc.
