S Raghav · Accepted Answer

When it comes to global ranking and ROI, HEC Paris MiM consistently holds the advantage over LBS MiM. HEC Paris has been ranked #1 worldwide in the Financial Times MiM rankings for several years, while LBS usually sits in the top 3&ndash;4. The average salary for HEC MiM graduates is around &euro;70,000&ndash;&euro;75,000, and tuition fees are roughly &euro;52,000, giving it a stronger ROI overall.
LBS MiM, though more expensive at about &pound;47,500, offers proximity to London&rsquo;s financial district, helping with internships and placements in investment banking, consulting, and tech. HEC Paris graduates, on the other hand, see over 95% placement within three months, with most joining McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or Goldman Sachs. In short, HEC Paris wins in global ranking and ROI, while LBS provides stronger access to London&rsquo;s job market.
