Hey guys, here are some programs I'm considering, in mind the fact that I want to break into IB in London
Which one is best for breaking into IB in London? I know that Bocconi has an advantage in terms of the fact that it's a 2 year program, but is it really that big of a difference (such as trying to get a IB summer)? Is the extra year worth it (not monetary wise, but just the extra year in terms of recruitment) over the 1-year programs?
Is the ability to graduate and stay in the UK better on a graduate visa (and do Off-Cycles) better than Bocconi/HEC, especially for someone like me who's a non-EU/non-UK citizen, for breaking into IB? Or is the name (LSE, Oxford, Imperial) going to be more important if I don't end up breaking into London for IB and I decide to go back to Dubai and break into IB there?
Assume that I have a chance in getting in all of these programs - I just wanna know from a strict, which program is better for my career prospects.
Thanks in advance!

Hm... good question maybe for Dexter43 though he is not a Finance student.
My understanding is that LSE is the top choice and Cambridge is up there as well.

Thanks for the insights! From what I’ve gathered, for breaking into IB in London, LSE MSc Finance, LBS MFA, and Oxford MSc FE are generally the strongest in terms of direct London placement and on-campus recruiting, mainly because of their UK location, brand, and alumni network in the City. Imperial is also solid but a slight step below in IB outcomes.
Bocconi (2 years) and HEC (MiF) are excellent for continental Europe and can get you to London too, but it’s harder without the UK work visa advantage. The extra year at Bocconi helps for summer internships, but it may not outweigh the UK visa + networking benefits of studying in London.
As a non-EU candidate, being in the UK for the graduate visa and off-cycle recruiting gives you a clear edge. So if London IB is the target, I’d lean toward LSE / LBS / Oxford, then Imperial — and only pick Bocconi or HEC if you prefer their structure or want broader EU options
Hope it helps !
