hi, Nicholas, firstly thank u for the information you kindly give me these days.

My undergraduate major is also Finance and I am taking CFA level II exam this June.  But I don't think one-year study in Lancaster MSc Finance will be easy. I also guess it must be tough and headache.

Since you graduated from Lancaster MSc Finance, would you like to share me some experience in MSF study?
1.What is a typicla day in MSF Lancaster?
2.How about the interaction between faculties and students after class?
3.Does this program involve a lot of group-discussion projects?
4.Can the knowledge you learned at Lancaster be applied to real-world practice, ie is Lancaster MSF practical and career-oriented?
5.How about the career service in Lancaster?

Sorry for so many questions again........Thanks!

Ans:

1. busy with attending class and study


2. you can go to see lecturers for consultation during their specific time period open to students or by appointment.


3. about 2-3 subjects have group-discussion projects, depending on lecturers and also changing from year to year.

(1)both theoretical and practical skills. (Hey, it is impossible just to teach practical skills at Master level!) It also depends your future job.

(2)MSc Finance provide able graduates with theoretical and practical skills that equip them for success in the increasingly complex world of Finance. http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/Departments/Accounting/PGprogs/

(3) I think Lancaster MSc Finance is surely more practical than Oxford MFE and LSE.

(4)But, If you do not want to undertake PhD in Finance in the future, it had better not to take “Financial Econometrics”, “ Master thesis topic: Option bounds and option pricing with limited information (it needs to do programming and is related to advance research in Finance )”, and “Derivatives Pricing (lots of math)”

(5)For those interested in studying to become a Chartered Financial Analyst, it is worth noting that the Lancaster MSc in Finance modules contribute widely to CFA study sessions at levels 1, 2 and 3. Details of modules that relate to the CFA content are provided under Programme Structure. http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/Postgraduate/pgfin/finance/

(6) Please read more details on Lancaster MSc Finance’s related links such as http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/Postgraduate/pgfin/content/

5. I know some students got the jobs through the career service in Lancaster, but I have never used it.

Hi girl, hopefully, the above can satisfy your curiosity!

对了，Nicholas，兰大的住宿有做饭烧菜的设备和工具吗？学校食堂的价格可以承受吗，兰卡一年的生活费(吃住行，偶尔的娱乐)人民币10万够吗？

学校附近有步行可以达到的超市吗？

Hi LZ, I have already provided and contributed lots of precious information here, but I am sorry that I do not want to answer the personal question(s). The only profile I can disclose here is: I am single and handsome.............!  haha............I am just kidding!

But I believe that if you go to study Lancaster's MSc Finance this year, the Lancaster Management School's (and University's) Career Service advisors can provide good information for you as to how to look for jobs in the UK. Especially, you can ask them for the contacts of those Acc-Fin "alumni from China or other countries working in the UK now ". (Only few of them are willing to share their profiles in public that are posted on the Lancaster Acc-Finance website.) Then you can contact or email them to ask how they found a job in the UK.  

In fact, some of international students studying Lancaster Msc Finance and Msc Accounting and Finance can get jobs in the UK every year, but it is really competitive unless you are very outstanding! Since you have the famous multinational company working experience, you may have a good chance to get a job in the UK.

Good Luck!

1. There is no "英国Master in Finance program的排名表" published by any famous instituitions.

2. LBS MiF is No1 without doubt.

But it is very hard to tell which university's MSc Finance-related programme is No.2.

"In my opinion", the No 2 MSc Finance-related programmes are:

Oxford (although her programme is MFE, Oxford has a big name)

Lancaster: MSc in Finance (& MSc in Accounting and Financial Management)

LSE: MSc in Accounting and Finance

haha..................my prediction and opinion are so accurate!
