LSE vs. Imperial for MSc Finance
Hi everyone, I'm thrilled to have been accepted to both the LSE MSc Accounting & Finance and Imperial MSc Finance program and want to pursue a career in either investment banking or equity research. My background: Indian graduate (BSc Finance from NMIMS), CFA Level 1 cleared, Level 2 candidate, Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst certified. My questions: Program Fit: Which program better prepares me for IB/ER considering my background? Placement: Which has stronger placement records in these fields, particularly for Indian students? Advice: Any essential skills/experiences I should focus on for success as an Indian graduate seeking IB/ER in London? Thanks for sharing your insights!
LSE for brand name. No one will look at the degree in 5 years time
Take Imperial, better placement for Summer Internships. Less competition from undergrads.
don't agree on this one
Both will set you up well in London provided you have a solid background & work experience, but for finance/economics, LSE wins out. Imperial is a stronger university overall (rankings etc.) but LSE is more specialized and has a long-standing reputation in the sector.
Thank you for suggesting LSE! I'm definitely intrigued, but I have a couple of questions about the specific program fit:
I appreciate any insights on how these factors might align with careers in investment banking and equity research.
