Hello,
I am an Indian female, age 31, an IT engineer with work experience of 7 years in the UK. I woul like to have a change of career into finance. I have no experience whatsoever in finance or related fields. I hear that there is a Diploma in Accounting and Finance available in LSE for people like me who want to switch to finance.
The questions I would like to ask are
1) Is this a good enough course that can help me have a good career in finance. Is it a recognized degree on its own and reputed as well to attract good financial institutions, or should I take a Masters as well to get a good job.
2) Age factor: Am I too old to switch career into finance when I do not have any finance experience, that too with a diploma.
3) Which is a better option for me? Diploma or Masters? Will it be easy for me to into MSc Finance with my background?
Is there any other alternative you would like to suggest?
I have taken my Gmat and got a score of 680.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can try and see https://www.lbs.ac.uk
Too old... 31?
nope...
But yeah, if you have no backround in finance, diploma in LSE is one of the best options.... After that you can enter LBS masters or LSE masters...

Would you be able to comment on the Diploma Program in LSE. Will the Diploma alone help me have a successful career in finance. Is it necessary to do an MSc in addition. 2 years of study is definitely going to be a problem
esp because I have got a family as well with kids.
The reason I asked whether I was too old was because I dont want to end up in a classroom where there are fresh graduates - 21/22 and then me - 31
I'm not sure if studying with such a group would help me. Even when some recruitment does happen, I dont want to end up in a situation that I am not considered because of age esp when I have no experience at all.
I want to know if this program will help me. For LBS MSc , the website says it is for people who want to change careers within Finance/ know more about the subject and not for people who want a career change to Finance.
