UK Target Unis for MBB
I'm a final year undergrad, currently looking at doing a master's program in the UK/EU. I'm currently looking at Oxford, LSE, Imperial, UCL, LBS, Warwick and Edinburgh. But I'm curious, besides Oxford, which of these is best regarded by consulting recruiters (specifically MBB)? Also, what other factors you think I should consider when making my decision considering my goal is to work in MBB.
I'm also interested to hear what European Universities could also be considered MBB Targets. Again, this is keeping in mind that my goal is to work in London MBB but it could be fun to study abroad also.

For the MBB UK it's Tier 1a, Oxbridge; 1b, Imperial, UCL, LSE; 2a, Warwick, LBS, Durham; 2b, Bristol, Edinburgh. Other than that you have a number of globally strong universities, e.g. Harvard, Tsinghua etc. that also give you a good chance.
LBS MiM is probably the best in terms of postgraduate placement. They send tons of kids to MBB every year although I understand not many of them are placed in London but rather in regional offices.
Could be. This is for London were MiM isn't a significant feeder to my knowledge
LSE MiM alum here, from the 50ish that applied for MBB, 10-15 got in. Another 15 ended up at T2 firms, rest ended up at startups/corporates/tech.
MBB was mainly regional offices, but that's also preference. COL is lower, people like having family and friends closer (which is home), and hours/stress tends to be lower. Most look for exits in their home country anyways, so then any benefit to being in London will be limited at best.
Personally, I'd also prefer to be in a regional Northern European office (STO/Oslo/CPH/Amsterdam than London had I gone into consulting rather than FAANG. Curious how this compares to other target programs, but afaik MiM was one of the most consulting centric programs at LSE.
Is the MBB recruitment similar for non-MiM? I.e. would studying global politics place me at a disadvantage?
