Should I choose Warwick, KCL, ESADE, or Bocconi for undergrad if my goal is finance + a top Master’s afterwards?
I’m trying to decide between:
- Warwick (Management)
- King’s College London (Management)
- ESADE (BBA)
- Bocconi
My long-term goal is to work in finance in London (or maybe in a big corporate role in Bern), and I already know I want to go straight into a top Master’s after my bachelor’s, ideally something like LBS or HEC Paris.
My main uncertainty is Bocconi. I was admitted to CLEACC (Economics and Management for Arts, Culture and Communication in Italian), with the possibility after year 1 to switch to CLEAM (Economics and Management in Italian, essentially guaranteed) or BIEM (Economics and Management in English, more competitive).
Would staying in CLEACC/CLEAM instead of getting into BIEM hurt my chances for top Master’s programs in finance/management?
More generally, if you were in my position, which option would you choose and why?
Would really appreciate any advice, especially from people who attended these universities.
