I donot think Sheffield, Cardiff is as good as lancaster,especially in business.But it is easy to appliy for these two schools.Sheffield is a good university but not very strong in economic.I donot like cardiff because it is easy to get an offer.
Master in Finance in Lancaster is comparatively stronger than any other propgrammes in the school. Yes, it has the top ranking in the accounting and finance as well as 2 "niu" professors. But actually option pricing is not its strength. (I am the current finance student and potentially will pursue research in extoic option pricing afterwards). Any specific question, just raise it. Good luck.
The admission policy will definitely change this year. The Accounting and Finance department is aggressively developing its international reputation and teaching and researching quality. Frankly speaking, Lancaster could be a choice if you wanna to continue your academic career while the drawback is its unfavourable location and weak networking with top tier ibanking firms.

Do you mean that if one wants to persue a job opportunity in financal field in UK, Lancaster is not a good choise?
yes, it is almost impossible mission to land a decent job in ibanking industry in the City. i tried all big names last year but no positive results. on the other hand, i am admitted by the warwick doctoral programme (math finance) and lancaster doctroal programme as well. as i said on 8th March, lancaster is good for research and academic activity while it can not give you a promising finance job in most of cases.
