LSE Msc Accounting, Organisation and Institutions worth it?

Don't you think that (for a German) a masters in Finance from St. Gallen is better than a 50%-useless degree from LSE? Does the LSE brand really overcompensate that much?

Hi guys,

quick question.

How would you rank the above mentioned course?

I would love to live in London and also to go to LSE. Nevertheless the course seems pretty irelevant when it comes to work in the financial sector. Does the LSE brand carry enough weight to offset that? (If I have relevant experience on my CV based on internships during my undergrad)

Otherwise:

I have the opportunity to go to Bocconi for the Msc in Finance, Durham for the Msc in Finance or St Gallen.

Nevertheless, St Gallen would require 8 extra courses which I am not willing to take. Furthermore it is two years which I do not really like.

The two years also scare me regarding the Bocconi offer.

Durham seems okish but I cannot say whether the Durham Msc Finance is really better than the above mentioned course (especially if this one is tajeb in combination with CFA Lvl 1?)

thanks.

Hey guys,

which one would you choose if you had offers from both:

- MSc in Finance and Investments at Rotterdam School of Management
- MSc in Accounting, Organisations and Institutions at LSE

My goal is to end up in IB in London. I am worried that RSM brand name is not good enough and at the same time I am worried that banks might wonder why I didn't study Finance at LSE. (In case you are wondering: I have a 600 GMAT which won't get me into Acc&Fin or Finance at LSE + no time to retake it due to work)

I have a Big4 Corporate Finance internshipt and one IBD internship at a BB on my CV. Do you think my chances would increase for IB in London if I could add LSE to my CV? even though its not MSc Finance or Acc & Fin ?

Please help!

Hi, got the same profile and applied to the same universities. Just wanted to know what did you end up choosing?
