I don't see how these options will give you much leverage in the UK. Did you consider ESCP Europe's London campus? Lancaster, Cranfield, Birmingham, Edinburgh are all good options too.

Just curious: why pursue an MSc in Marketing if you want to go into consulting?

Thank you for your replies! I don't want to do general consulting, but specialize only on marketing, digital/e-commerce etc.

My current aim is to work in the UK, but I surely don't want to limit myself there. I'm thinking that a program from a top business school with more international exposure and contacts would be better in the long run, career-wise and salary-wise. Also, I want to keep an open door in the distant future for an MBA, that's why I thought that Bocconi and ESADE are better choices than the ones Duncan mentioned. (I also applied at Manchester, but until now I thought it's going to be the first I'll reject)

Take a UK MSc (you'll meet the world in the classroom), learn languages along the way and then study abroad for your MBA. ESCP gives you a pan-European network.

Indeed the ESCP program and modules seem very interesting. However I am still questioning the possibility of entering the consulting industry, since for example it's only the 10% of the '15 class vs. the 20% of ESADE.

Apart from that, from what I saw, the student spend only 3 months in the London campus doing just their specialization, so I don't know if this is really counting as a UK MSc.

PS.I am referring to the Marketing and Digital Media MSc of ESCP

Indeed, if you speak Spanish and want to enter the consulting industry in Spain, then ESADE is a better choice. The ESCP courses in London (For example http://www.escpeurope.eu/escp-europe-programmes/masters-full-time/communication-creativity-marketing-and-sales-full-time-specialized-masters-postgraduate-degrees-escp-europe-business-school/master-in-marketing-creativity/what-you-study-msc-in-marketing-creativity-escp-europe/) will be better for work in the UK, and the top UK schools (LBS, Imperial, Warwick, Cranfield, Lancaster etc) are better skill.

I do not speak any Spanish unfortunately. I know Italian in a basic B1 level but again I don't consider it helpful for job placement in Italy (if I choose Bocconi)

I am coming from a humanities background so I want to make sure that the school I choose will really help me to land a job in consulting.

So from what I understood, you'd suggest the Marketing&Creativity MSc than the Marketing and Digital Media from ESCP, and in general all the other UK schools than the strongest brand names (+internanional exposure,employability,salaries) of ESADE and Bocconi?

Indeed. Europe has a profoundly national labour market. ESADE and Bocconi are great schools, but to work in the UK you'll need careers services here and a good alumni network. ESADE and Bocconi have excellent career services, but that is because they are leading schools in less competitive markets, and have international students who either have language skills or don't want to stay in the country. The UK is harder, so you need schools with great MSc careers support like ESCP Europe, LBS, Imperial, Lancaster, Warwick (even Cass or Leeds, at a stretch). if I was you, I would really focus on ESCP, LBS and Imperial even if that meant taking a MiM.

But what about the double degree programs that ESADE/Bocconi offer or even semesters abroad? Especially Bocconi offers a ton of these!

Do they have UK double degrees?

Mm not really..Bocconi offers some exchange programs with Lancaster for example.

However,as I'm searching more and more about the ESCP Marketing and Creativity master, I see that it really focuses on the creativity part, with lots of seminars around film or theatre etc. Also apparently GMAT or IELTS is not even mandatory..they require to visit the London campus to take their own admission and language test, which to be honest I find a bit weird. And on top of that, I did't seem to find any salary or employability statistics provided, in contrast with all their other programs. Their recruiters include big luxury brands, but nothing really on the consulting industry.. All these make me a bit hesitant

ESADE and Bocconi will not give you access to the UK employers you want. The best programmes for you will probably be those with a strategic marketing consulting approach (Birmingham, Cass, Imperial, Warwick), despite your interest in digital.
