同学你好，谢谢你的回复。请问你为什么觉得项目招生的质量是ic的msc finance更胜一筹呢？而且我被录取的 ...

1. Unless the role is a really technical one, the employer won't care if it is a MSc Finance, Economics, Statistics, Accounting or etc.........what they are interested in about a candidate is mainly not what they learnt from books/lecture, but their passion, knowledge about the industry.

2. Of course it is not rare that technical skills in asked in interview. This can varies from financial modeling, quantitative method, and etc.....while really depends on which division one is applying to. Imagine what will an equity research vs a risk analyst role interview can be different.

3. Surly LSE is better reputation and has a bigger network in the city, when compared to IC Business school. But given that both of them are enough to get one an interview, this doesn't matter much - at the end one get a job because of oneself instead of the name of a school, which is useful for CV check only.

4. LSE is a economics school before being a business school, i.e. MSc Fina & Econ is more prestige than their MSc Fina. But definitely the Microeconomics class in the MSc Fina & Econ is useless one plan to do a PhD. (if one use the class size logic stated in #18, LSE MSc Fina: 93, MSc Fina Econ: 57)

其实我不想走量化的道路，还是要走corporate finance. 在这一点上也许LSE优势更强。 ...

無論從任何一點看都是LSE. IC is of no match of LSE in terms of business school.
corproate fina又好, and indeed also any generla finance role. given what you have is a FE offer, this also holds for academics, i.e. PhD.

我能想到的唯一例外是, 有人想走quantitaitve, 但是拿了LSE MSc Fina VS IC RMFE.
