Confused about semitarget Masters in fianance UK
Hi there,
Currently, I have two offers one at Cass and other at Durham.
The atmosphere tells me to go Cass although, academically Durham may be better right? and is 15K less.
Also, I do not know about Durham city.
Exeter, StAndrews ,Edinburgh have offered me, but Cass and Durham seem above by what I read, noticing that all unis are semitargets.
I would go to Cass for masters, it's a tad better but the location is what really gives it the edge over the rest.
Although Durham's college life is pretty cool, and it's not a bad university either (nor are the other 3).
So personally, I'd say the opposite, atmosphere for Durham, academically for Cass.
In any case, both are fine to end up working on IB at the city?
The problem I see with Cass is that there a couple better unis in the same location. Weakening my CV.
Such as: LSE,UCL, Imperial and KCL.
Hey man, I did a postgrad degree at Durham University. Honestly, I need to know more about your profile. While Durham University is a great University, i'm not really sure what you are looking for.
Academically I don't really know anything about the finance program but I do know 2 people who did graduate from it. One was from a ME country and had maybe less than 2 years work experience not directly related to the investment industry, managed to land a job as an analyst at a start-up hedge fund I think? either way he was happy with what he landed.
Second one, was a domestic student with a bachelor in mathematical finance. Ended up as a financial analyst at some firm in Newcastle. He didn't want to go to London because he doesn't like that life style.
Durham is a great University for networking and rounding yourself as an applicant since there are a lot of clubs/sports & other activities you can attend. Plenty of social and finance-related student clubs. Some firms come over and host dinners/drinks but they're mostly aimed towards undergrad (I think? never attended).
Heads up though, plenty of your cohort will be from China which could can be a bit of a hassle in terms of socializing.
