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.
