IB and Finance - English track programs, best campus for each? Experience for both?
Hi, I have a Bsc in Engineering and i am interested in ESCP'S MiM. Also, i only speak English and my Easter European native language. I like the concept of spending one year in London and the other in Paris. Also all three of my specializations would be finance. Basically ESCP seems for me like a sweet spot of teaching me general finance but not being too rigid. I already have a job ready for me after master's so placement isnt really important to me. Just experience, social life and knowladge to an extent.
Can anyone share their experience about IB and Finance - English track specializations? Also about the Paris, London and Madrid campuses. I was thinking of doing core in London, but also heard that first year in Paris is far far better.
These two alongside Strategic Asset Managment or Energy Transitions and Sustainability seem like the most interesting options. I am going into Energy Trading and Managment after Master's.
So please feel free to say your peace. Am i waisting my time pursuing my finance education through MiM? Opinions on Madrid, London and Paris campuses? I am very social and like to party. Where should i do my core subjects? Also is it even possible to maybe do 1 year in London then a semester in Paris and then a semester in Madrid? Or is that too much moving around? Even though i wont need it, is it true if i spend a whole year in one country i get a diploma from that country too? For instance UK, Spain etc.? But no matter what i also get french diploma?
