MSc Finance - Warwick vs Bocconi
Hi guys,
Just started getting post-graduate responses back and thought I'd present my situation to you guys and get a feel of what you guys think.
Basic Info about me
- Swiss
- Currently in my final year of my undergraduate degree from a top Russell Group uni (expected to graduate with a first)
- Fluent in English, French and German
- No work experience whatsover
- 700 GMAT
I've applied to the following programs
- MSc Finance - Warwick (Conditional offer, nothing too wild so should achieve my offer)
-MSC Finance -Bocconi（没有等级要求）
- 风险管理和金融工程 - 帝国（尚未回音，但我认为这将是我的首选）。
我听说过Bocconi将人们放入城市的吸引力，而且您完成实习的事实非常有用，因为我在第二年结束时申请了10周的实习，但我有0个经验。
The appeal of Warwick is that being a top UK school it would (i think) increase my chances of working in London. But im not too sure on whether it carries that same appeal abroad (Continental Europe or US) that Bocconi has.
同样，我相信，如果我被帝国录取，我将有最大的机会？
我仍然不确定我最终会在哪里，但是看到伦敦（英语母语和城市的吸引力很难抗拒）和苏黎世（显而易见的选择是瑞士人）作为前跑步目的地，所以想知道哪种报价估计很可能会让我当然FOjob at aBB.
Thanks a lot for your help.

If you have no experience don't do a 1-year master, shoot for a 2-years one and do an internship between the two MSc years
另外，为什么要风险管理和金融工程而不是金融？听起来对FO我认为工作，尤其是查看程序内容
Honestly going for a Master without having any experience is nearly always a bad choice... I have seen so many people in top masters struggling to get an offer because they did not have any internship under their belt. Definitely try to get an internship for the upcoming summer
Thanks for your response,
与我所说的那样，Bocconi几乎是一致的，因为在获得实习方面有2个“投篮”，而不是1个。
Unfortunately I hadnt focused that much on trying to secure an internship for this summer and probably have left it too late now (poor advise from career adviser telling me to focus more on this year and applying for a masters and that lack of experience is not an issue at all)
Similarly I applied for the RMFE as I was told that the Finance MSc at Imperial requires at least 1 year of experience in Finance and that RMFE is the safest one for people with no experience and that i'd be able to stock up on my electives to shape my degree in a way to allow me to have a good shot at aFOjob.
当然。但是，还有许多其他大师会比整个欧洲的IMO都要强大 - 显而易见的选择是圣加伦，但是您在欧洲大陆也有其他强大的学校。就我个人而言，我对这位RMFE大师没有说服，但我可能错了
Overall, I would accept the Bocconi offer and focus on reaching out to boutiques / small companies in your area / get in touch with some contacts to get experience this summer. Applications forsummer analystpositions (I assume this is what you aim for?) will open in August and it is unlikely that you get many interviews without an internship.
" I have seen so many people in top masters struggling to get an offer because they did not have any internship under their belt."
When you are saying this, are you referring to full time offers from the internship, or using the internships as leverage for interviews? I have two internships, currently doing one. But I do not think I will get an offer from them, because the Group is very small, and I do not think they need an additional employee.
I think that Warwick is more prestigious than Bocconi and you will also have the advantage of being closer to London.. Did they offer you a scholarship for tuition fees?
Thank you for your input,
No unfortunately neither of them offered me a scholarship.
Also got through to the interviewing stage at IE (Madrid) and UCL but my worry would be that UCL is behindLSE，帝国和LBSin the London recruitment.
I wouldn't consider UCL as a clear target for CityBBs, whereas WBS and Bocconi certainly are. Any particular reason you haven't applied to HEC's International Finance program?
Warwick is not more prestigious, more target due to beeing in UK - yes.
Can I ask in which application round you applied at Bocconi?
4th Round
Thank you.
Congrats on the offers. I'd echo similar thoughts in that Bocconi has a very strong brand name and is well known across Europe. But, Warwick is definitely a strong recruitment ground for theBB's in London. Personally, I've seen many people from Warwick break into full-time roles at BB's without any experience. But that has been from from an undergraduate level, so I'm not sure how it is at the Masters level.
What I can say is that I did meet guy fromLazard谁在沃里克完成了金融硕士学位。他确实有一些经验，尽管那是来自银行业以外的一个行业，但他闯入了。
归根结底，我敢肯定，两者都会在银行接受您的采访。从那时起，这与课程和大学有关，而更多地关注您。一切顺利。你处于一个良好的位置。
