LSE vs. HEC - Master in Finance - HELP
Hey!
I got accepted to the finance master's at both HEC (Master in International Finance) and LSE (MSc Finance), but I cannot make up my mind about which to choose. Below are my profile, ambitions, and views on both universities. Any help and opinions are much appreciated.
Profile & ambitions: From the Balkans (in the EU), currently finishing my undergrad at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University in the Netherlands; ambition is to do IB (most likely London), have done one internship (IB in my home country), and only speak English beyond my native tongue and German (B1-B2 level). Just FYI, I already paid the deposit of 6,000 to HEC because the deadline was before my acceptance in LSE.
LSE:
- Known around the world
- May give me an edge in terms of visa because I don't have pre-settled status
- There are a lot of scholarships but I don't have the results yet so idk if I will get anything
- Maybe easier to get recruited in London afterwards
HEC:
- Currently first in all rankings for a master in finance
- From what I heard, the alumni network is very strong
- The university is literally trying to find you a job (there is a London trip, visiting all big banks in the beginning of the year, and university is also sending your CV to big banks throughout the year
- Good reputation regarding social life, campus, etc.
- Won't lose my 6k
- I am like A1 in French, and if I chose HEC, I intend to improve, but still...
And lastly, I've also been accepted to Bocconi for finance, so if you have any input on that, I would love to hear it.
Go to LSE. I know losing 6k sucks but if you are not french native than don't go to HEC. Don't even consider Bocconi when you have those two options. Good luck :) (plus especially if you need sponsorship put everything on your side to make it happen not the opposite). ;)
the thing is, HEC's program is 60%+ internationals, not frenchies
yes but its main reach is France
Quite debatable, as around 30% of HEC MIF grads go to London.
I'm in Bocconi right now the MS in Finance is really good but man it's way too difficult it makes the other two look like kindergarten.
So if u like to study A LOT go to Bocconi but I'd suggest HEC.
Is it possible for a non quant background person to succeed? I’m a law UG at a UK semi target looking at Boconni Msf and don’t know if I’ll survive lol
Hi, I have an acquaintance who got into their MiF last year from my same Finance UG (some math classes but nothing crazy). It's doable IF you have a good grasp on calc 1 through 3, but you WILL study a lot especially as Italian students are undoubtedly the most studious in Europe. Please SB this
