[求助]MFE of NTU vs that of NUS - ChaseDream

currently i am working in Singapore, and planning to go for a Master of Science in Financial Engineering in SG. Both NTU and NUS offer this program. Don't know which one is better? Can u help me with that?

Note:
1. (E) denotes elective courses. All others are core courses.
2. Electives and courses at CMU are subjected to changes.

如果你要读parttime，建议NUS，NTU的我认识的读兼职的差不多都中途放弃了。如果读fulltime，那也只有NTU。

两校新加坡声誉没什么大区别，但是NTU的毕业生工作似乎都不错。

NUS 都是part time，所以你如果不是在新加坡工作，那基本没什么可行性。读NUS得大部分本身就是金融届的。

NTU3年前开始招收工科背景学生后，就吸引了很多一部分想转行的人，毕业后也比较成功的去了金融届。所以其实2校学生工作方面没有什么区别，只是背景的区别而已。NTU出来的优势也只是可能你背景是工科生，这在某些金融分析工作上是有利的。但这不是学校的区别。

菜鸟问个问题,如果是应届生去读这个MFE,没有工作经验,是不是就业很难?

据说去年有位仁兄NUS的MFE毕业后直接进了OCBC,没有工作经验,月薪S$4,000起. 诱惑啊!

呵呵，据说ＮＴＵ的老师很多金融财务的老师来自于ＮＵＳ，对么？

Yes, I admit that NTU MFE has a better reputation here. I think this is due to a few reasons:

first, it admits much less students (around 30 intake per year in NTU, while around 70 per year in NUS), therefore the average level of NTU MFE students is higher than that of NUS counterpart;

second, NTU admits young students (average age: 26) while NUS admits many "old" students (average age:30). Those old students have left schools for a few years so that their math ability and self-study ability has decreased. Generally, young students can learn better;

third, NTU MFE puts emphasis on math (including calculus, probability, statistics, stochastic calculus) and C++, while NUS teaches less on math (stochastic calculus is even an elective course) and teaches Matlab and VBA instead of C++.

If you compare NTU MFE with NUS MFE as two groups, you can say NTU MFE is SLIGHTLY stronger than NUS MFE. But, in either group, there are some top students. And there is no evidence that NUS top MFE students are not as good as NTU top MFE students. Generally speaking, if you want to study MFE in singapore and find a job here, either NTU or NUS is a good choice and your future success will depend on yourself. If you believe you are smart and can be a top student, choosing NTU MFE or NUS MFE will be almost the same.
