LSE (Msc Management) vs ESADE (MSc Finance)

Background:
Age: 23
Coming from: Scandinavia
Degree: Bachelor in Business & Economics

Offers:
MSc Management (2 year programme) - LSE
MSc Finance - ESADE

Will it be a waste of time to take the 2y MSc Mangement at LSE with my background? Or is the LSE brand so much stronger compared to ESADE that it's worth using an extra year and not get a specialized degree? I could see myself working in the US, UK or Scandinavia.

Please share your opinions!

BTW: Does anyone got experience with switching programme at LSE? :smile:

Really don't think you have ANY chance of this at all at post-grad level, especially since you can apply to as many programmes as you like.

I have heard that it is quite easy to switch programmes at the LSE. It becomes harder when you have to switch to a different dept, because they other dept needs to want to take you, but if you are switching to a similar course in the same dept then it shouldnt be all that hard as long as they were not oversubscribed.

Just what i have heard.

By the way i would perhaps choose ESADE. An MSc Finance is the crem de la crem of degrees, whereas an MSc Management just spells you couldnt take an MBA. Plus rep wise amongst those in the know they are roughly the same.

MSc Finance and MSc Management are aimed at totally different people with different career goals and degree backgrounds. It is retarded to compare these two subjects. OP why don't you apply to MSc Finance at LSE? What are your career ambitions?

Having attended the msc management info session, this might be useful to know: If you already have a business degree coming into the msc management at LSE, they will let you take more advanced courses compared to the non-business student. So if you want to take finance-related courses this shouldnt be a problem at all. 2nd year is also an opportunity to specialise where you are free to pretty much choose any courses available at the school. In terms of knowledge it def wont be a waste of time if you're afraid you'll just re-learn old stuff. Also having spoken to existing student of the programme, getting into IB with the degree is not impossible as a few have managed to secure good IB internships during summe (which will prob lead to graduate schemes) despite the **** climate. They also agree that the LSE brand has helped alot in this. And also let not forget, LSE is a breeding ground for IB, and the banking atmosphere of the school and networks you'll come out with is a big plus you wont get in many other places.s

ElemenT: I did apply for the Msc Finance at LSE, but I didn't receive an offer. It might be a retarded comparision in your opinion, but that's my current options.

I wouldn't be asking for suggestions if it was between Msc Finance at LSE and ESADE.

Aemilius: Thanks for an informative post!
