MSc Finance programs (advice needed)
Posted Jul 26, 2012 15:35
I was wondering however whether there is any sense in registering for the Dec'12 CFA Level I sitting?
I think you'll find that if you complete all three levels of the CFA there will be some overlap in the content, but your CFA will cover a broader range of topics. Before you commit to doing both, I'd do some research on what the practical benefits of having both would be: do a lot of people in the roles you're looking at have both an MSc and a CFA? (check LinkedIn) Or, do the positions you'll be aiming for require just one or both?

quick update on my case: I decided not to wait another year for the masters so this Sep will start the MSc Finance at Strathclyde. I was wondering however whether there is any sense in registering for the Dec'12 CFA Level I sitting? Do you see any benefits to that? 'cause I see one big disadvantage in the amount of $1,500 exam fee :D Thanks
So, how are you liking the program? I'm curious because I'm considering doing the MSc at Strathclyde, but am also looking at the International Accounting and Finance MSc at Birmingham - tough decision!
