Need help finalizing on Masters admits
Hi,
I will be moving to Germany this winter for pursuing Masters in Economics I have a total of 6 admits till date. I am currently weighing my options and I have acceptances from JLU Giessen (MSc Economics of global risk), Uni of Heidelberg (MSc Econ), Uni of Gottingen (Msc Econ), Uni of Osnabruck(Msc Econ) & OVGU Magdeburg(Msc Financial Economomics) & Uni of Regensburg (MSc Econ)
With this degree I plan to continue my career in finance industy. I currently have 5 EOY in residential mortgage underwriting. I want to switch to core finance roles (Investment banking, deal advisory etc - best case scenario) or else land an analyst level role in any other Private sector company offering financial services. I also have cleared CFA level 1 in the 90th percentile & have internships in Inv Banking & for a company offering Financial Info.
Given my profile in the 2nd para, which university could be the best choice to reach my goal & help land the big switch. Please advise along the lines of experience of studying the program at respective universities , structure of course, overall uni experience, if the uni has meaningful tie ups in the finance industry, part time jobs in the nearby vicinity, Alumni network etc. Also I am constrained in terms of my ability to comprehend German & in the process of learning it, so I am restricted to only English modules in these program. Please feel free to addany other parameters to make the judgement that I might have missed.
Thanks for reading it till the end & I hope to hear your point of view.
