Re: Calling all applicants to Cass and LSE MSc !! [#permalink]
I am about to accept it. I am just talking to a couple of students doing the MS Finance course at Cass. Based on talks, the school has a very good reputation, the quality of students that they admit is excellent, the faculty is excellent and supportive and the course content is really good. Plus you get to choose between Quant and Corporate Finance in the second term. I am just trying to figure out the placements scenario, but that is a function of other factors , not just Cass and its repuatation. I hear that Cass students got good placements last year, this year thanks to the visa issues and everything else placements are a problem. Do lemme know any inputs you get. Cheers !

Yes Im applying to Oxford and maybe Imperial. Yes as of now I would wanna work in London after the course, but I believe you can look at opportunities in EU countries like Germany etc as well.
