Oxford MSc Financial Economics vs. LSE MSc Finance

Hi. Is anyone here that has done MSc Financial Economics at Oxford or has heart any opinion about this programme? Some people say it is too theoretical. Any information/opinion will be useful. I have received an offer but I am still waiting to hear from LSE. Personally I like Oxford more but apparently LSE has bigger network in finance and their course is more established.

 

LSE's MSc Finance & Private Equity did. Placement wasn't as "prestigious" across the board as from Oxford but still, PE is PE.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

Thank you guys. I accepted the offer for MFE Oxford. Mainly because of: -brand and the "Oxford" atmosphere -apparently the course is much more intense -some economics modules -just 80 students whereas at LSE there is a few finance-related courses from which people often apply for the same jobs -Oxford Finance Lab (modelling workshops and case-studies with companies)

 

No, didn't apply there. I was discouraged by very small class and extermely thoeretical approach. Moreover, I read somewhere that most people go onto Phds after...
