LSE Quantitative Methods For Risk Management MSc

Good day,

I wanted to ask about the value and I guess versatility of the QMFRM programme at LSE. It does seem to have an actuarial inclination but if I take certain electives, that focus can be diluted somewhat. Its not my first choice programme but its the only one I have. I think that Financial Mathematics could have been a stronger choice but for various reasons that hasnt come to be.

My question is, how good or worth is this programme if I want to move into quant roles in the future? Will it help somewhat with the CFA when I come around to doing it.
