What do you guys think about this combination of Dual Degree? "Financial Engineering/Masters in Finance" NEED HELP!!!

What are the major differences between these two programmes? I need your opinion because I accepted in both of those programmes and I can't decide which one to choose, so If I would choose to double with those programmes what would be the pros/cons? Both are in different schools, and both school are very reputable, in that sense I want to have both of those schools' diplomas in my pocket, and I want to know if it is too ridiculous decision or not.I need your help, please..Thank you.

 
ArcherVice:

That sounds like it has a high price tag and you have a very singular goal.

just help me to find differences between these two programmes, that would be great actually and very helpful

 
perfectflawlessy:

hey you know what, calm the fuck down first, and you are right what you said mostly actually, but at least help me to understand the differences between these two programmes?

Why are you so emotional?

I'm calm. thanks.

however, does "understand the differences between MSF and MFE" help YOU more or help me more? it's your time to wake up and research for your own destiny.

You shouldn't want strangers on WSO to project your life path for you anyways.

 

Fiiine. The difference between an MSc in Finance and MFE(Masters in Financial in engineering) is that the latter has programming lessons combined with a lot of math, the career you can pursue with this degree is on the quantitative side of finance like algo trading/high frequency trading or you can become a quantitative analyst. An MSc in finance gives your more in-depth knowledge related to financial instruments, modelling, strategies and accounting.

 
DatesExcelModels:

If you want to do Banking, an MFin is much applicable than an MFE. Assuming the MFin is at a target University, and you want to do iBanking, then I would invest the time (and save the tuition fees) of the MFE and network/do internships/actually enjoy life over the MFE.

yes, but very much depends on brand and program rigor, you know..... MFin at target universities means "not so many"

 

I do want to invest that money instead of getting two degrees, but on the other hand I am fresh graduate, so this is my last chance to do something different from the others before leaving academy, and later when I get a job I don't want to come back academy, I want to finish my job with it.In this sense, in 5 years
investing with average return it would earn me about 45 thousand dollars, it is really hard to decide.

 

By the way of course i researched the differences and I know generally, but actually the point what I want to find out is the benefits if there are even couple of them, that's where I am confused.Only one person can clear my mind is that having that experience of both master programmes.

dude, just get that job offer or school offer before you talk again. I seriously think that action helps you the most.

so basicly you sayin "eat that shit first then think again", well thanks anyway :)
