Hi everyone

I have an offer from Bath to study the MSc in Management for next year and I have applied to the ICMA Centre, Henley Business School to study their MSc International Securities, Investment and Banking masters of finance.

I have chosen these two as I am restricted by finances as to where I can study and I can live at home to study at Bath and the ICMA centre offers ISIB distance learning, so I could continue working. My plan is to apply to study for an MBA once I have built up enough postgrad experience and I am hoping eventually to move into banking or management consultancy. I am currently working as a recruitment consultant having graduated this summer.

What is everyone's opinion of the two schools , whether it would be better to study MSc Management or a masters in finance, and would it be better to study distance learning or to take a year out of working to study?

Thanks

Study full time if you can. You will have a totally different experience.

If your budget is limited, why not look at a masters in finance at a top European school? Visit http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/masters-in-finance-pre-experience-2012 and add the field for 'value'
