Bocconi finance or bocconi quantitative finace and risk management ?

I have friends who have finished manfinrisk and now work in London (IB). I have esimated that manfinrisk will cost me around 25k euros while the finance program (2 years) will cost me around 35-40k . I can only spend 25k. Should i apply for a loan in case i get accepted in the two years finance program?

The loan is worth it if you prefer finance over quant finance. They are different areas of finance and require completely different skillets.

Old post, but maybe it's useful for other mokeys.

Mafinrisk is much less prestigious than Msc Finance, it isn't so selective and places mostly in risk in milan banks or in BBs in Budapest. Someone with previous exp manages to fly to london, once again mostly in risk with maybe 2 people in S&T, in BBs or smaller shops. The curriculum however is pretty good, especially if you come from a quant degree. And obviously if you have a bsc from a target, you will have a much better choice.

Msc Finance doesn't need any introduction, it's Bocconi's flagship and if you have a stem bsc can place you in FO, and in all those positions you could get thanks to MAFINRISK, so if you can get in, go for Msc Finance and don't look back.

 

May I ask why do you think Mafinrisk is much less than Msc Finance, because it is an one year program or you think the students' quality is lower? From what I know, Mafinrisk is probably the most difficult master program in Bocconi, it invovles a lot of math, and the students typically have more work experience and more likely to hold another master or even doctor degree.
