新加坡SMU的MAF面试要注意一些什么？

eetofin

To tweety0930,

NUS MFE classes start at 7pm, and NTU MFE and SMU MAF classes start at 6:30pm if I'm correct.

You can tell your boss that you are taking MFE/MAF courses, and if he/she is a nice person, he/she will let you leave earlier when you have class to attend. If you are working in a financial institution, probably your boss will approve that.

To zonquan,

My understanding is that most of SMU MAF courses are designed for taking CFA exams and thus holding this Master degree is much similar to passing CFA exams.

to zonquan,

我应该会去SMU,反正也没报其他的,而且SMU的FACULTY真的是不错,水平怎么样不知道,反正光看毕业的学校就没办法不行注目礼了,新加坡就是钱多,几年工夫硬是砸出来这么个学校,不知道过几年国际声誉会不会扶摇直上

To zonquan,

Donot just look at those course titles. The courses with similar titles may have very different contents.

Generallly speaking, NTU and NUS courses are very similar, and they are different from SMU courses. The main difference is the level of math involved in courses. For example, all 3 univ.s teach fixed income, derivatives, and financial risk management. But NTU and NUS MFE teach more technical issues, more math is used, and some math models will be analyzed so that you can have a deeper understanding of them. Basically, MFE is quantitative and MAF is qualitative.

Another thing: For each course, NUS MFE has 12 classes, NTU MFE has 6 or 7 classes, and SMU MAF has 5 or 6 classes. After some simple calculations, you will find that their total teaching hours are quite close though the numbers of courses differ dramatically.

Anybody know where the graduates go for MAF in SMU? How much is the pay for those switching from other background (Engineering with 7 yrs)?

请问lz后来录取了吗？现在有去读吗？

zonquan

正在读。。。。

dearagnes

请问您觉得SMU这个专业感觉怎么样呢，课程压力大吗？

我明年也想申请看看，请多多指教。

mg3187

smu有没有full-time的MAF阿？我想明年去念full-time,怎么貌似没有呢？

manfromars

smu 还有一个wealth management，因为含实习在里面，估计就业会比较方便。

就是贵了点$48000

我正在两个course之间考虑

哪位可以回答下25楼的问题？“Anybody know where the graduates go for MAF in SMU? How much is the pay for those switching from other background (Engineering with 7 yrs)?”
