MSc

Hi all,
I’ve just graduated from the University of Bath with a BSc Economics (2:1) and I’m currently researching Master’s options in economics or finance.
I didn’t manage to secure formal internship experience during university, so I’m trying to be realistic about which Master’s programmes are well regarded and actually helpful for jobs afterwards.
I’m particularly interested in English-taught Master’s programmes in Europe since I'd like to live abroad for some period, but I’m also considering UK options. I’d like to avoid doing a Master’s that sounds good but doesn’t add much value in the job market.
Would really appreciate thoughts on:
- Good UK Master’s options with a Bath Econ 2:1
- Reputable European (English-taught) Master’s programmes in econ/finance
- Whether going to a European university is genuinely worth it for careers in the UK or Europe

I'd say try go to a russel group university in the UK. That will give you the best opportunity career wise.
