    Finance Postgrad - which uni?

    What about the University of Sydney tho? The reason I'm asking is cuz I don't wanna get tricked into signing up again for a less prestigious university just because they are the "only true" degree in that field like I've done for my bachelor degree only to find out later that the lecturers were...

    Finance Postgrad - which uni?

    I'll be honest, I'm not really looking at UTS atm since it's not one of the top universities around. I am willing to be swayed if you have a good argument tho...

    Finance Postgrad - which uni?

    Hey guys, So I've narrowed my choices down to Financial Mathematics @ UNSW and Quantitative Finance @ University of Sydney. I guess my question really is, which of the two is a better choice?

    Finance Postgrad - which uni?

    Yeah, I've had people say the same thing about PhDs being for academics only. My view remains that research will be beneficial regardless and I might as well do it before I hit the workforce. Yeh, from what I gather, there's a masters in coursework (a normal masters) and a masters in research...

    Finance Postgrad - which uni?

    So I have completed a BSc (Actuarial Science) degree and got sick of anything actuarial. I managed to get accepted into an honours program in finance this year (finishing in november 2009), and so far I'm enjoying it. I'm thinking of heading off next year to do a Masters in Finance or a MPhil...
