Need help choosing the appropriate Masters in Finance
Hello guys I am finishing up my Management degree in a non target university in June 2019 and I am going to apply now for Masters in Finance to rebrand and hopefully manage to get a position in Investment Banking / Hedge funds
I am going to the UK and I have the following options in mind: University of Lancaster Masters in Finance University of Durham Masters in Finance and Investment Henley business school MSc International Securities, Investment and Banking
I do know there are way better universities but they are out of my budget so I have to consider those. Now according to the financial times Masters in Finance ranking 2018, Lancaster Masters in finance ranks up at 29,followed by Henley at 41, and then Durham at 51
However,I checked some websites regarding the best masters in finance to have a position in IB and they ranked Durham higher than Lancaster which led me to uncertainty of which to choose. Henley doesn't even show in those websites.
Additionally, opinions on Forum never mentioned Lancaster Masters in Finance to get a job in IB/HF
I therefore wanted your opinions regarding which one to choose given my budget to increase my chances of landing a job in IB/HF
All help is appreciated
As I mentioned elsewhere, don't base rankings as your sole decision criteria but: UCD Smurfit is 24th for QS and costs €17.5K (so same as the £16K Lancaster asks for) Nova (in Lisbon) is 34th for QS and costs €12.3K MFins in Scandinavia (SSE, CBS etc) are usually free for EU students.
If you are deadset on the UK my honest and objective advice would be to wait and save up to afford an MFin at a target or semi target because an MFin at the unis you mentioned won't be much help. It's not an insult, just a reality of the competitive IB market in Europe and in particular in London.
Thanks for the response, but almost all of the topics I read actually considered Durham as a semi target for IBs
