04 Sep Best Investment Banking Schools
The best investment banking schools are those that consistently enroll numerous students into top investment banks, and have impressive placement rates for undergrads and offer specialized student groups or programs to assist you in preparing for finance careers. Cornell, MIT, and Columbia all meet this criteria. They also have prominent alumni who are working in the field and have extracurricular programs such as Booth’s Finance Society and Stern’s famed Finance Program which offer exposure to the real-world challenges of investment banking.
These schools also typically have a high alumni network in the industry which is useful for networking, and are typically located near a financial hub for regional or smaller investment banks. They also have top-rated accounting and finance programs.
Other important aspects to consider when choosing a school are your personal interests and what type of career you want to pursue, along with the kinds of jobs you’re looking to work in at an investment bank. As opposed to other industries where hiring is more competitive through technical interviews, investment banking recruiting is largely dependent on the school’s reputation and the number of top-performing students that the institution produces every year.
For students who are just beginning their studies, look into institutions like NYU and UMich They have solid reputations in the field of business and are known for their alumni networks and high placement rates. In Europe take a look at HEC Paris and Oxford Said Business School. In Asia think about HKUST and CUHK as well as Chinese universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua and Fudan.
