Msc AFC or Finance?(Bocconi)
Hello!
I am through my BSc in Economics and Finance at Bocconi University and I must decide my graduate. I cannot choose between the MSc in Finance and the MSc in Accounting, Financial Management and Control. I like both courses and, although I know the Master in Finance is more prestigious and recognized (top 10 in the FT ranking), I can't tell if it does really matter.
Also, it feels like I am choosing between working abroad and staying in Italy -more than 50% of Finance' students work abroad- and I can't make my mind even here, as I want to earn as much as possible (in Italy salaries are low and highly taxed) but I would not like to leave my girlfriend (serious relationship and she doesn't want to go abroad).
What would my best shot be, Finance or AFC? Is AFC recognized abroad as much as Finance? Can I aspire at the same average income with both courses (FT reports 114639$ for Finance)?
Thank you.

先w people from AFC doing M&A atBBsin Milan and abroad. In general I don't think it makes a huge difference, however Finance does have an edge and is generally more prestigious. The coursework is probably easier and less demanding at AFC.
My 2 cents, don't base your career decision on your girlfriend, you might regret it later.
Godspeed
Thank you for your advise. In your opinion could a MSc in Finance eventually move tocorporate financethus doing the work of an AFC graduate and vice versa?
The MSc in Finance is noticeably better in placement and harder (mostly due to it being unfair) than AFC. If you are a great student and feel like you can push hard for two more years while also doing applications, go for FIN. Otherwise, if you have the profile to get into FIN (and can get agood GMAT score), you can look at MSc programmes abroad for a way easier experience and similar, sometimes slightly better, placement (LSE,LBS, HEC Paris (sorta), Oxford).
The above is assuming you want to work inIB/MBBconsulting
Thanks
Currently doing AFC. You'll have no problem getting interviews in London if you have solid work experience
Can I pm you? I have been admitted to afc eng and i come from bief at bocconi
sure
Solid work experience, unfortunatelly I have done only useless internships during high school? Do you think an entry level or so could bring home a good salary(my average as is 28.3 as a Clef student)?
