Hello guys, I am in need for some advice regarding which masters program I should go with. I am a final year student at a decent italian university studying finance. My goal is to land a good management consulting/IB gig however I am open to other roles too. (I am based in Italy keep that in mind because i am completing my bachelors degree there) I just got accepted into a masters program (Finance) at Bologna Business School which is a decent school in Italy. However, my other option is to do a masters at bocconi university, (Masters in Quantitative finance and risk management or Mafinrisk) or a masters in business law. Now if I get into mafinrisk I'll definitely go to Bocconi. But I i got rejected for mafinsrisk and I get accepted into the masters of business law (which is less competitive), which program do you think I should go for? the masters in business law at bocconi or the masters in finance at bologna business school? Do you think the brand bocconi has makes it worth it to pivot a little from a traditional finance degree? note: I have 2 finance internships, studied technicals for banking from WSO courses and already have a networking plan to try my best to land an offer. And I have no intrest in working in law as a legal council or in an NGO etc… I am just doing it for the bocconi brand. One final note is that I am arab and I speak arabic fluently and my main target location is the MENA region specially (UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar) Please feel free to give me any advice
appreciate the feedback, this is my first post so I am not familiar with the structure yet
thank you for your answer. I agree with you 100% I think a data driven decision will be the best i this case. And one note is that I don't mind studying law i actually took a few law courses in my undergraduate and i did well on them. My issue with business law is not the material that I will be studying its that I will never be a “real lawyer” because i don't actually have a law degree just an LLM with an economics background. So working in the legal industry will limit my growth chances and I am much better off in consulting/banking
