jpguillo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hello all, I will be completing my undergraduate degree (B.S. Economics) here in the U.S. in May 2013. I am interested in applying to a graduate program in Europe, and I have several questions. From the research I've done, Toulouse School of Economics sounds like a great place to study. The problem is that I am not looking to continue towards a PhD or work in research/academics after my Masters education. If my interests lean towards studying Finance in order to get a job directly out of the Masters program, would I be better off focusing my energy on a business school with a dedicated MSc in Finance? I'm not convinced that recruiters at top financial institutions would see the value of a Masters degree from TSE, even if it is highly regarded in the academic field. I feel that I would also benefit from the mandatory internship placement at most business schools in Europe. If Toulouse would still be a viable option, I have a more basic question about admission. It is my understanding that with a 4-year B.S. degree from a U.S. institution, I would have completed the equivalent of M1 as part of my undergrad career and would therefore be applying directly for M2 (in the case of TSE, M2 - Financial Markets and Intermediaries). Is my understanding correct? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhawk Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If I were you I wouldn't go to TSE. Don't get me wrong, I'll be attending TSE next year but I do want to continue towards a PhD. If your goal is to jump into the job market right from the Msc, as you said, I'd go to a good MSc in Finance. There are a lot of good places out there. A piece of advice: If you want to work in the US, do your Msc in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michalz Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I assume you may ne heading to Europe because of program's cost. Anyway with your profile it may be better to look for some B-schools. The tuiton is not so cheap there, but still probably cheaper than in US (maybe except UK). You have plenty of decent institutions in Spain, Scandinavia, France also.
