Best UK MSc Finance Programs

Best UK MSc Finance Programs?
I was accepted into the MSc in Finance programs at LSE, Cass, Manchester Business School, Lancaster, Warwick, and Durham. I would like to know which one provides the best education for price and what has the overall best name value and prestige. I feel LSE is the most known in America, but it is also the most expensive and not ranked highly on places such as Financial Times.

LSE, without a doubt. The reason LSE does'nt show up much in the rankings is as it does 'nt offer an MBA. The rankings in FT/ Guardian/ Times are all MBA rankings. The general consensus is that these should reflect on the MSc Finance as well. Warwick has a solid business school and a strong finance department. Cass has the biggest finance faculty in Eurpoe, has good entry standards and has; perhaps the strongest links with the industry. Its a favourite hunting ground for many I banks in London. The rest are decent places with nothing much to talk of and are rated on par. Finally, it depends on what you want to do after college. No matter the plans, LSE is the place. Its worth the extra buck. Programs in London tend to be very costly. Its 26 K at Imperial. If you want to stay in London; then CASS. But if you want to go back, then Warwick as CASS is not much recognised outside UK. I would rate LSE, CASS, Warwick, Durham, Lancaster , Manchester in order.

Before you consider which MBA program is for you, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Learning Management Systems are probably the best solution. A LMS offers courses in a wide variety and all of the curriculum is created by experts in their subject matter. It also provides a cost-effective means for continuing education. A lot of courses are accredited but do a little research. If you looking for accredited content or just courses that help refresh your knowledge a learning management system provides a comprehensive catalog of courses. Here is a site that you can check out http://www.coggno.com/onlinetraining

As I know, this site has top listing of such college courses online - schools.iblogger.org

What about Energy Traders?

in the usa when the rich lose money they socialise it (bail outs) when the rich make profits they dont even have to pay tax...................... the end is neigh.................we tried warning americans but they are to busy argueing over red and blue it seems

You don't understand socialism. That money that the government collects would go toward programs like housing and healthcare. In fact if you remove the hyperbole, you have kind of described how venezuela is doing things right now, however their poor citizens get a HUGE benefit from the socialist programs, which is why chavez is so popular with the poor of that country.

In this country it will be a win/win situation for government and unions if we allow it to continue.


5
no and fascism is not corporatism. Remember that for every $1.00 the gov't give away, they must first steal $1.25 from you


6
... This country is indeed way too fascist, and it's ruining our country. Fascism is corporatism, and it's on the right. Socialism is on the left. I don't understand what you're thinking with your question. But I'm tired of corporate welfare. I wish we could just say NO to privatized profits and socialized losses for the rich and powerful. And it disturbs me deeply how many businesses are not paying taxes.


7
It's the corporation's government to begin with. They have the direct access to it, and they need it to exist. Of course they should finance it. And in the process it is the people who work for that corporation who are paying through their work and enjoying the services, order and structure, and collective protection. duh. doesn't everyone see it like that..?

Fascism is an autocratic government with severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. We already got that when he went over the heads of voters, other politicians, and the constitution, to pass Obamacare.

good undergrad finance programs

good undergrad finance programs?
What university has a better undergrad finance program: Indiana University (Kelly business school), Michigan State, Emory University, Villanova University, or University of Michigan? Could you rank them in order from best to worst relatively speaking? My career goal is an investment banker so I would like to go to a university that has the most "bang for the buck" so to speak and a university that provides excellent job placement. Thx!

From best to worst, it would be like this: 1. Emory 2. UMichigian 3. Indiana 4. Villanova 5. Michigan State. Emory and UMich are incredibly difficult to get into, so I wish you all the best. Have a nice day.

UM is the best on your list, and is very competitive (Ann Arbor). That is the only one where you might get an IB job, and getting an MBA eventually also depends on your UG school and GPA, GMAT scores and especially your work experience since UG. UM also would have the best placement -- you should ask to talk to alumni; the catalog should have which companies hire UM graduates. For the MBA (which you will need if you want to stay in IB), you need 2-4 years of good work experience that preferably includes progressive mobility (meaning a promotion at least). If you are serious about IB, focus on UM and not on the others except possibly Emory, but again check where their graduates go for work. Sorry, thought I read MBA and that you already had UG done. Most of the info applies. I rank UM over Emory, esp for IB.
