NTU的MFE小而精，学习压力很大。

NUS只提供part－time，如果工作悠闲，学习压力较小。

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。

thanks a lot shaoji.

shaoji可否聊一下ntu mfe 和 nus mfe 出来工作有何分别？ ntu mfe 出来工作有什么优势呢？

DING!

29读MFE是不是太老啦，新加坡的银行业很红火，，想转啊

shaoji

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?

还有如果要读NTU的MFE,最少要花多少银子啊?

anderson2002

25000新元， 约合125000人民币

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!
