Bocconi msf or warwick MSc fin
Hello, I have recently got offer from both of these semi targets.
I'm a non EU candidate who'll be studying at one of the university mentioned above.
I'm stuck in a dilemma as to which university to pick. I want to know if my chances to break intoIBin the UK right after my Master (although my long-term goal is PE) are better if I decide to go to warwick or should I choose bocconi over it.
Also, I have a prior work experience of 1 year as financial analyst in my home country, so I also wanted to know what are the job prospects in UK inIBpost masters bc I'll be financing my studies solely on loans. So I need to know about the employability of someone who graduates from such universities.
Does investment banks sponsor non EU candidates? So far on LinkedIn, I rarely saw someone from non EU baground who managed to get sponsorship from these banks, maybe bc of thevisarules.
Please consider the new post working visa rules (students on the psw will be able to work or look for work after their studies for a maximum period of two years) while giving your valuable suggestions.
I just want to ensure that I can pay back the loan if I decide to study in UK or EU.
Any help in making this decision is appreciated! Thank you

AllBBsin London sponsor, as well as many other banks. Both are good choices.
Okay. Bocconi is going to be a difficult experience since I don't speak Italian so warwick ig.
Bocconi will give you more opportunities in terms of recruiting since it's a two years program. Attending Warwick means you won't need visa in UK which is a very important issue to bear in mind. AllBBsponsor, but TBH the chances of landing a summer/FToffer in aBB很小。如果你不需要签证你招募opportunities will expand significantly in UK. If you need it, you are pushed to apply toBBand someEBwhich are extremely competitive.
So warwick is it?
He is non-EU, so he need visa regardless

354manbetxI think that as a student studying in UK, you already have a visa that allows you to stay and work for some time (probably 2 years) after the end of your degree, so you would be able to work also for lower tier boutiques, that instead may not sponsor a student studying in EU.
That's the point!!
"working at lower tier Boutique" Is that the best case scenario for a non EU graduating from a top tier university in UK even after staying and working for 2 years post masters?
No, after the MSc you'll (hopefully) do an internship. Best case is you get into aBB/EBs(that sponsor visa also for EU/non EU student); worst case is you get nothing. In between you can find an internship at lower tier boutiques that don't sponsor visa, hence only UK students or EU students with pre settled / settled status can work there.
Hence, since getting into aBB/EB is not easy (not impossible, but not easy), if you go to Bocconi (or any other EU university) you preclude yourself from applying to lower tier firms in London and, since you don't speak Italian, you also preclude yourself from applying to lower tier firms in Milan (that's not Milan-specific but Europe-specific, where you almost always need fluency in the country language).
However, if you go to Warwick (or any other UK university), you should get a visa that allows you to work for 2 years in London, hence you get the optionality to work for lower tier firms there (if you don't land an internship in aBB/EB).
What happens after 2 years is obscure to me, but Isupposethat, if you'reFTin a London firm, they can sponsor you a visa.
+1 on the Visa issue.
To my knowledge you will be granted a two year visa following the completion of your studies in the UK. So even if you don't get a summer or anything else, you could go for off-cycle internships and other related roles well after you've finished your degree.
I also think in terms of prestige, the two are basically identical - so for me the visa issue definitely weighs in big
Bocconi is a target for MSc, Warwick isn't. It's dependent on yourself but Bocconi allows you to shop around for two years, really depends on your background but would do Bocconi. Tbh, if you get an offer from Bocconi you can probably also get an offer fromLSE,LBS, Imperial etc.
I don't have enough extracurricular to apply for LSE, ik there is no solid standard regarding extracurricular and how much you should have it to get intoLSEbut I'm saying I got none andLSEgives alot of importance to it.
I do have a gmat of 724. I'm thinking about imperial too.
LSEdon't give a crap about ECs, as long as you have good academics and GMAT its fine.
GMAT can either be 720 or 730.
Apart from that, if you said you have 1 year of work experience, it certainly accounts as extracurricular activity.
