MSc. Commodities Trading University of Geneva

Hi all,

Came across this interesting program of Commodities Trading at University of Geneva.

I come from a developing nation with 3+ year experience in Derivatives (Pricing, Fixed Income, FX, Equities) in a top BB firm and would want to get into commodities trading. My educational background is Maths and Finance from top college of my country.

Is Msc Commodities Trading any good, I think not knowing any European language is a bottleneck. But even if we leave that, is the program good enough to get my foot in the door for the interview rounds, also considering switzerland is major hub for physical commodities trading (Trafigura, Vitol, Glencore etc.) I do not want to remain into the middle office/back office chores and I've always wanted to become a Trader.
