Hello. I recently got accepted to the BESS program at Bocconi and I am weighing on whether going there or to the Business & Economics program at Stockholm School of Economics. I am Swedish and I know that in the Swedish job market an SSE degree is highly valued. From what I understand, there are graduates who work in London but I would assume they are fewer than at Bocconi because the school only has 2k vs 15k students. Which university would position me best for a career in high finance? I don’t really understand where Bocconi has an edge geographically. In London you have to compete with people from LSE, Oxford, Cambridge etc, in Switzerland St. Gallen and in Sweden SSE.

Hello!

I am an overseas prospective student who has recently been accepted to the International Relations undergraduate program. I am very interested in international relations and want to move to a more dynamic city like London. However, I am concerned about the job opportunities after the degree, especially since my family and I will likely contribute £70,000+ for tuition. I have heard from my student counselor that there is more flexibility regarding the fields you can work in within the UK if the university you attend carries some prestige. I have been thinking of studying economics and finance at the most prestigious university in my home country due to some interest in the fields (the subjects also involve mathematics, which I am interested in) and the better pay, but I feel like my passion tilts a bit more towards international relations. How are the job opportunities after a degree in International Relations at LSE, and is there a possibility of going into other fields, e.g. finance, if the job market is too difficult?

Would greatly appreciate help!
