I am a lawyer doing Finance and Law Master of Law. I want to go in to finance sector. What courses are suitable for me? Can anyone advise?

Thanks.

Take one of the degrees on the FT MiF ranking.

Start at the top and work your way down.

Of course you would need to consider where you wanted to work and what your language skills are.

That's not really the case. All are looking for some sign that you can work with numbers. They are not looking for economics genberally, but some schools (especially in France and Italy, but also Warwick) are highly technical. City University, where I did my MSc, say the Cass MiF requires "Some level of previous study or evidence of skills in finance or quantitative methods is essential." That sounds very open. You have some prior study and could easily take a MOOC is some more quantative area. Maybe pick one:

- https://www.quantstart.com/articles/How-to-Learn-Advanced-Mathematics-Without-Heading-to-University-Part-1
- https://www.edx.org/course/essential-mathematics-for-artificial-intelligence

I think you need to spend a bit more time working through these courses. Score them each on a square of 1 to 10 on hor hard-core their rrequirements are, and then look for what is missing in your studies so far. Then fill the gap.

Thank you for pointing out those courses, I have to start now in order to submit my application in time then.

That's a very interesting discussion, thanks for the tips!
