Is going to a UK university worth it as an international student?
I'm a high school student from Slovenia and I'm choosing which universities over Europe I should apply to. I have some universities I would like to go like University of St. Gallen, WHU and Bocconni. I would like to work in investment banking or consulting in London or Zurich. When I look for target universities in the UK most of them now cost at least in the 6 figures for the full four years of education because now EU students after brexit went into the overseas category of tuition pricing. Will going to a target university in the UK be worth the extra 100kGBP for applying to finance jobs in London? Will going to a target uni in mainland Europe be good enough for getting a job/ standing out in a CV in London?
Do you speak many languages?
A common advice is usually to spend undergrad in Europe, where tuition is cheaper and build up your internships etc - then jump to a Masters in London if needed.
A majority of those in London from the continent seem to be in a language group (for ex, Italians from Bocconi covering Italy).
I’m learning german and I would have around a B1 or B2 level of proficiency. I was speaking both Slovene and English since birth
Ya idk its a tough one...
Me personally, I'd go continental and do a masters later if needed.
Other schools to add that I think are similar - WU Vienna, RSM/Erasmus. Consider maybe a Nordic school too. Don't be afraid to cast a wide net.
Completely disagree with that point about people covering the region for the language they speak. People from all over Europe are in groups of all kinds in London.
