MPhil Finance at Cambridge advice?

Hey guys,

I need some advice into what to do next. I'm currently about to enter my final year at the LSE (In the UK) studying Mathematics and Economics. I have decent grades, scoring a First Class in all my modules so far.

I'm currently doing an internship at a BB in wealth management, although trading is where i want to end up. (I've also done previous internships in Ernst & Young and HSBC for what its worth).

I'm considering applying for the MPhil in Finance at Cambridge but was wondering if its worth it. Its a butt load of money (i will be paying international fees) but i want to do it if it means i have a bigger chance at breaking into Trading.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to do?

 

hey thanks for your response. I'm not going for a Phd.

For the Master of Finance, you need a couple of years of work experience (which obviously i don't have). The MPhil Finance is a one year programme.

I was wondering if it was worth it though. Should i just graduate and then look for BB jobs?
