LSE MSc Finance and Risk or Imperial MSc Finance and Accounting

Hi everyone, 

Curretly I got two offers from these two schools. I aim to work in London after my studies, which one would you recommend. 

Any suggestion is appreciated!

It depends on what you want to work in.

Both universities have a wide range of Masters in Finance: 

  • Masters in Finance and Finance & Accounting are designed for careers in Corporate Finance (IB, PE, VC)
  • Masters in Finance & Risk are designed for careers in Asset Management or Risk Management

Just take a look at the Linkedin profiles of recent graduates of these different Masters programs for more details.
