Is Warwick a Target School?
A friend recently got accepted into the University of Warwick, and really wants to go there. Any of you current Warwick students or alumni? Just wanted to know your recruiting experience with investment banks and whether it's a "target school".
The Guardian has it ranked 5th out of English universities, but I don't know how impressive that is.
It's good but below Oxbridge and LSE.
I'm in the same problem.Have been accepted in the msc finance there,everybody says do not miss it, i'm going deeper now but all the opinions are definitely good
This has been beaten down to death...
Oxford, Cambridge and LSE are top but UCL, Warwick, Imperial and CASS also up there (CASS mainly thanks to location).
Investment banks also visit universities like Bristol, Edinburgh or Nottingham, so although not as strong in terms of City presence I guess that makes them targets too. All of these universities get you through the automatic screening and into the psychometric tests when you apply online. Then you are on your own.
Warwick is one of the 6 UK universities which are targets for all BBs (Oxford, Cambridge , LSE, UCL, Imperial, Warwick). CASS may recruit well at Associate level but I've yet to meet anyone from there in Analyst recruiting.
In my experience Warwick students play not far off the level of Oxbridge and LSE in terms of recruiting--definitely more of them about than UCL or Imperial.
I'm just trying to understand how quant is that program.I would deal with a lot of numbers.Despite being an msc in finance,you won't deal with accounting,they offer empirical finance,quantitative methods,corporate finance,asset pricing and economy of financial intermediaries as core classes.Electives are several,but i think a good choice is Financial Engineering,Risk Management and derivatives. Maybe it will be a very quant program if these are the choices.
Undergrad - strong target Masters - Less so
Undergrad v Masters there should be compared to Yale undergrad v SOM
This.
A friend who's at warwick (but no warwick business school) and went for a stroll to career fair said there's decent recruiting for Asia (HK/SG)
It's OK to be very honest. Doing an MSc is really a questionable path in the UK. You'll still be applying for Graduate Programs at top institutions and competing against undergrads. I would rather spend that year studying for the CFA and getting lots of experience. You'll have a better chance of getting a graduate scheme that way.
Is University of Warwick a target uni? (Originally Posted: 12/23/2010)
For S&T at a bulge bracket, would an Economics undergrad degree from Warwick put me at a disadvantage? Thanks.
Why is this in "Business School Barrage"? and yes, it's a UK target. You could have searched.
