MSC Economics & Finance at KCL (King's College London)

Hey,

I just received an offer for MSc economics and finance from King's College London. My target job is to get into a hedge fund in there graduate training program offered by funds such as Citadel or Brevan Howard. My bachelors degree was in Computer Science and Mathematics, I have a data science certification and I also have experience in financial forecasting

1) Is the masters from KCL worth it?

2) what are the job opportunities after graduation?

3) The MSc economics and finance is a relatively new program do companies and investment firms hire from KCL?
