Like others I am not the greatest fan of rankings but thought this might be of interest. Mcgill is ranked at number 12 worldwide for financial employers hiring.

"QS has ranked 200 schools globally according to their appeal to financial services employers. There are some curious anomalies, such as the absence of French schools such as Paris-Dauphine and the addition of the University of Canterbury – until you realise that it refers to the university of Canterbury in New Zealand. The inclusion of London Business School also looks strange: it only offers postgraduate courses.

Nevertheless, for all its apparent failings, here’s the ranking of global financial services employers’ 100 most favourite academic institutions. If you’re in the UK and want to work in finance, it seems you should be studying at Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial, or the University of Manchester."
