EDHEC vs RSM vs NHH vs LSE (Financial Statistics)
Which programme is better in terms of acquiring a job in Asset Management and consequently in a hedge fund abroad after graduation? Got the offers in all these unis. I am a finance undergrad from Russia, 6 months semi-related work experience (finance, business analysis, marketing management). The programmes are EDHEC MSc Financial Markets, RSM MSc Finance and Investments, NHH (Norwegian School of Economics) MSc Finance,LSEMSc Financial Statistics.
Would be very grateful for your advice!!!

EDHEC is rather suspicious one, as to me, because they call me almost every day and try to convince to accept their offer. Can you comment on that, does that indicate something bad???
I don't think it is such a big deal, I can understand that they want you to accept their offer especially if your profile interests them. If you go on LinkedIn you will see a lot of EDHEC guys in London in very good banks. Rotterdam is also very good and known to be a target.
I saw that you addedLSEto your initial post; I think that should be your number 1.
I also considered betweenLSEand EDHEC last year and finally pickedLSE.
I think it depends on in which country you would like to work after your MSc.LSEis reputable not only in Europe but also in US and Asia. EDHEC is also well-known in Europe especially in finance area. EDHEC is also famous for its supportive career service. So if you are interested in working in Europe, both are good options. Sorry I don't know about the other two schools very much.
normally would recommend you to go toLSEno matter what the actual programme is. Job application most likely will take place over the summer into the fall already and if you dont have something lined up by then it will become very difficult, and from yourVisasituation it appears you would loose the chance to recruit again in the fall after you graduate which may be a risk.
Both EDHEC and RSM have pretty well placed alumni across the board in the UK (again probably more biased towards French people for EDHEC and to a lesser degree Dutch from RSM). As far as I remember EDHEC also has a campus in Nice so if you can spend some time there thats obviously pretty nice.
See my WSO Blog
LSErecruiting is very strong; take theLSEoffer if you can.
Unless you can speak French or Dutch as fluently as a native, getting a job in those countries would be much harder than in London.
Hello people,
I was wondering if you could clear out to me some points between these universities. I got a 660 on the GMAT, Im Colombian and I work in Investment banking now as a 1st year analyst at the biggest bank in my country. I speak fluent english and French.
I am starting my applications to a master in finance to get into private equity mostly, and stay whether in Europe (France, Spain, Switzerland or UK) or targetNYor Miami.
My first option is EDHEC because it is well targeted in france, great alumni network, the career service, I love the Cote d'azur and not so expensive compared toLSE,LBSor HEC. I have some doubts, given my nationality that I could get a job easily, even though I aspire with my level of french after one year at EDHEC I could make it. I was also targeting ESADE andLSE, but given that spanish if my native language and in the UK is harder to get a job because non EU passport, is this correct?
What do you think whether it would how hard to get a job after inPEor Investment banking? How are the conditions for non EU to look for a job in France after master in the same country?
Hi, I would not go to EDHEC. It is not a bad B-school but the school is not very known outside of France and clearly is very expensive for what it is worth. Clearly go to HSG, SSE or RSM if you want a school that will offer a good value for money and good future opportunities.
However, it is clear that with all the schools mentioned that a placement in London will be difficult if you do not have past work experience and a solid overall background.
Hope it will help future graduates decide :)
If I had to rank these: LSE>RSM>EDHEC=(or >)NHH
大家好,很长时间以来我张贴this, thanks to everyone for their input. A quick update from my side: I ended up getting into another school that was not on the original list. I got into ESADE Business School, MSc Finance. I was studying there from 2016 to 2017 and didn't land any offer in London, and then decided to apply for an exchange programme in partnership with Queen's University in Canada for 2017 to 2018. The reason was it's much easier to land a job in Canada and get a residency in there and i wanted to work somewhere abroad. However, after graduation I moved back to Moscow and got into a Russian investment bank (Sberbank) in Treasury which is quite far from Sales & Trading, though that was Global Market's Treasury, butnotFO. One year passed and i had some thoughts to move back to Canada and try again applying for Sales & Trading. I moved back to Canada in 2019 and started brutal networking (thousands of LinkedIn messages and hundreds of coffee chats). 4 months into the search process, and I got an offer to work forTD Securitiesas part of their funding desk (STIR), that'sFOand that's on a trading floor. So, that's pretty much what my journey's been thus far. Looking back now i can say that both my MS degrees were quite useless and i didn't learn much, but at the same time now i understand that not a single degree can give you anFOrole, it's just how bad you want it and what you do to achieve this. In the end, you can end up where you want if you focus enough on this. Good luck everybody!
