Imperial MSc Finance And Accounting Vs UCL MSc Finance
Hi,
I applied to Imperial for the MSc Finance. I was given an offer for the MSc Finance and Accounting course instead. I have also received an offer for the MSc Finance at UCL.
I understand MSc FA at Imperial is the daughter of Imperial's flagship MSc Fin. With that said, I am still leaning towards it over UCL's MSc Fin, given that it's still a very new course and is less targeted, according to others.
Note: My career interest lies within sell-side operations with a focus on Global Markets S&T. However, I am also intrigued by IB in general.
Which should I choose?
Imperial’s business school is still a (low) target, even for A&F. UCL’s business school is not (unlike the main university). Go Imperial unless there’s a particular reason you’d prefer UCL.
Thank you. The main reason for UCL is that the modules are more quantitatively focused on my career interest in S&T. With that said, Imperial holds a multitude of benefits that may outweigh that.
Hey, yes Msc in finance & accounting is not their flagship. Why not apply to LSE, LBS and even Warwick?
Hey, I have applied to both LSE and WBS. I received an offer from WBS but ruled it out as I would much prefer to study in London. LSE would most certainly be my first choice (and is £5k less), but I have yet to hear back and am not optimistic. LBS was a bit too expensive for me (scholarship or not) and I believe it is slightly outside of my reach.
Have you thought about the MSc in Finance of Bayes Business School (formerly Cass)? It may not be a target university at the level of LSE, LBS, etc but it is still ranked well (top 25 by FT), and being in London can help with networking.
