Which is better for career prospects MSc Investments or MSc Finance?
Hello,
I got an offer to study MSc Investments at the university of Birmingham, However I tried MSc Finance at Strathclyde Business School..for a career prospects I am very confused on which master program to choose. Please advice..
You should focused on the program which has the strongest placement record in the field you are interested in. Personally, I believe Strathclyde Business School is more famous than the University of Birmingham. Unless you are 100% set on asset management, I would also prefer a MSc in Finance over a MSc in Investments.
Exactly, these two considerations should guide you in making a decision.
I am getting actually confused, because the thing is that I only got unconditional offer to study MSc Investments at Birmingham, but unfortunately for Strathclyde I didn't meet the entry requirement, in order to secure myself a place I must first attend a Pre-Master course which takes 6 months, then after I pass it, I will be allowed to progress into a Master in Finance program at Strathclyde. So I am very confused which option to take. I also got an unconditional offer from Bradford Business School to study MSc Finance but I'm not sure about its reputation or whether I should choose it over Birmingham. Sorry for making this long. I just need an opinion ASAP.
What are the costs associated with the program at Strathclyde, incl. prep courses?
Have you looked at the Diploma in Accounting and Finance at LSE? Same thing, better brand name.
The associated costs at Strathclyde will be 12,500 Pound for the Pre-Master.I have looked at LSE's course for sure but my bachelor degree is similar to some of the course content, so they will not give me an offer.
I don't think that having a BSc with overlapping content will be automatic ding.
As for that program, what's the difference in total money spent on that MSc then?
This program costs 20,000 pounds, the other ones Birmingham and Strathclyde costs 15,000 and 13,000 respectively.
Well, I would say that you should decide whether this is an issue for you or not. Would it be an issue for you to take a Gap year? You can always also apply to various universities in continental europe if you want to do finance.
Yes, I think I will go for the Pre-Master at Strathclyde, SBS is well reputed in the Accounting and Finance field.
Sounds good, best of luck. Feel free to PM!
