Which MSc/MA in Financial Economics is the best


Which MSc/MA in Financial Economics is the best?
Hello! I'm an AB Management Economics senior in the Philippines, and I'm planning to take up an MSc/MA in Financial Economics. I found graduate schools in UK and in Europe that offer the said degree program, but I don't know which one to take. Kindly answer my question based on the ff criteria: a. prestige of school/degree program b. courses offered/required to take c. fees and the likelihood of getting financial aid d. likelihood of being hired after completing the program Thank you very much!

Hello. a, b, and c depend largely on the school which can be found through searches (you're doing great) c and d depend largely on you.

Hello - A number of years ago, a study of the employment-connection between the prestige of the undergraduate institution and/or the graduate institution, and the job market showed that at most the "name" school helps you get your first job. If you are returning to the Philippines, prestige is even more amorphous. I'd suggest graduate study in any major university in the UK or Spain, because of the language connections to your career. You need to contact the Philippine Dept of Education to determine what, if any, aid is available to you for study abroad. Keep in mind that a graduate degree also qualifies you to be a college/university instructor. British universities are well-known for welcoming foreign students. I received my LLM at University of Edinburgh [wonderful place, but remarkably cold]. I had been offered the same program at Exeter and I think i would have enjoyed myself more. Of course, if you can get into Oxford or Cambridge, by all means take it. And the London School of Economics may be just the place for you. Good luck
