Bachelor in Economics and Management. Bocconi vs. HSG/St. Gallen vs. RSM (IBA)

Hi,

I am an 19 year old German and I am about to finish my GAP Year, during which I held an internship at a decently reputable global investment fund in Sao Paulo.

Now I received the final results form all universities I applied to and I got an offer for these three programs:

IBA at the Rotterdam School of Management
BIEM at Bocconi
The Assessment Year at HSG

Although I thoroughly considered all three I am still unsure which university offers the best options for my orientation.

There are three aspects that I deeply care about for my Bachelor:

  1. Employability in the finance industry (primarily IB, preferably in London)
  2. Decent connection to the technology sector through a solid IT/Computer Science education
  3. Network and People/culture

Any advice would be valuable!

Thank You in advance!

 

Thank You for Your reply! I had the chance to speak with a couple of RSM IBA students and they all do a GAP year to work in either consulting or finance before doing their masters.

 

Thank You for your reply!

I was unaware that staying local makes sense in this context. Isn't it valued by employers, if you cover different areas of the world and build a global network?
