Best European Universities to study Bussiness in?

[Kington]

Hello to all of you.I'd like to know which are the best universities to get a Bachelor degree at.The only ranking which isn't overall but for bussiness only is this one,it's only for the UK and don't know how accurate it is:I'm not allowed to post any urls as I'm a new user but it's in the guardian site
How those universities compare to UvA Amsterdam in your opinion?I'm graduating next year and I want to give it a shot at the best possible places that I can,so I'm up for the challenge - compete with the best and be better than them = become the best
So I want to go to the best possible university I can get to.Hope someone will give some info.Thanks

Your graduating but looking to do an undergraduate bachelors?
There's a lot of MSc and MAs available in business to non-business graduates.

Not sure about the unis, only looked into British ones myself. Only advice is try to get one with a compulsory placement. They add so much value.

By graduate I meant high school.What would compulsory placement mean?To have a job insured by the uni?I'm not English ,I'm from Bulgaria,so I guess I'll have to also start from under graduate pre-bachelor degree level

Ah sorry, I thought you meant graduate from University!


Compulsory placement means that you have to do a one-year work placement as part of the course. They'd offer help/guidance on finding one but mostly it would be up to you to actually find the job and do it.
I had to do a project and a few reports based on mine, and get an extra qualification based on it (Diploma in professional studies). The one year's work experience looks really good on ya CV basically =) and you earn money for it.

I understand,thanks.Will have to think about that after a few years probably.I'd also like to ask now what type of job would suit good on my CV that will be sent to a Business school/Top uni that has business degrees?Because I was told that any job would be better than no job,because it's still some job,but what specific job do you think I should try for?Even if I just go to the job to gain working experience for some time,without salary,what should I go for to put some color in my CV?

Here are the official rankings. I'd always heard that INSEAD was #1, but this report has them at #3.

Best route:

1) Do a Ba / BSc in geography or something at a "yellow brick" university.
2) Work for a "blue chip" corporate for 3 years
3) Get an MBA
4) Do absolutely anything you want!

Undergrad study there to teach you how to study, how a faculty works etc. Real relevant study happens postgrad.

So you think it's better spending 3 years studying Geography than for example going at University of Amsterdam studying Bussiness and Economics Bachelor degree?And could you decode what you mean by "yellow brick uni" and "blue chip corporate"?

Warwick business school is one of the best in the UK, at least it was when I was there in 2006.

The route I suggested isn’t the only route but it is the best. A lot of people who have studied at a postgrad level consider their bachelors degree to be training in how a faculty works, how to study, how to research, how to write an academic paper etc. The real learning happens postgrad. You don’t have to study geography you can do whatever interests you PPE for instance.

It’s an old way of thinking I know but universities were colloquially referred to as being “yellow brick” if they are old “traditional” universities. “Red Brick” universities on the other hand are “New” universities. New in this sense is any university receiving it’s charter after 1900!

Since then every technical college, Higher education college, Vocational college has been allowed to call itself a “University” and the stigma of going to a “Red Brick” has disappeared outside of academic circles.

You should really know what a “Blue Chip” company is! It’s a “big company” FTSE100 companies are “Blue Chip”.
