Masters of Finance VS Master of Engineering
I am in the final year of a BSc, double majoring in Engineering Science (Mining) and Finance, at a top Australian University. In order to become a legally qualified engineer I will have to complete a 2 year Masters of Professional Engineering (Mining). I have no desire to work as an engineer and instead would like to break into Investment Banking, preferably in M&A.
Instead of completing the Masters of Engineering, I am considering a Masters of Applied Finance at the same Institution. My university is a target school for investment banking and the business school and masters of finance have close ties to the business community.
I have gained considerable engineering and commodities knowledge from my undergraduate degree in engineering, but this would be reasonably more if I complete the Masters of Engineering.
I have interned at both EY and a very small mining company.
BSc GPA is 6.2/7.0 Finance GPA is 7.0/7.0
Which degree would better suit me for breaking into Investment Banking.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Why do you think you need a masters? Have you attempted to network to see if it is even necessary?

I see you're considering Rochester; they also have a technical entrepreneurship masters program.
Duke brand is better, but the degrees aren't similar. What do you want to do for work post grad?
