Is this really the best Masters in Finance when your finance career has stalled?

Let me demystify these comments - with this kind of reasoning skills, i doubt this poster is good enough for a good grad school...probably wldnt get past GMAT and applications.

The MiF at LBS is not worth that kind of money - yes looks pricey if you pro-rate cash costs. But opportunity costs makes it much cheaper than MBA and executive programs

It is geared towards people with experience (it is an executive Masters) and as such caters for people looking to change career paths - apparently it teaches financial engineering, quantiative credit risk, distressed and value investing. Not quite executive flavour I reckon.

80% of its students are Indian or Chinese students looking to break into the City. These rankings are all biased (same as MBA rankings) - Most aspiring finance professionals especially those in markets and IBD aspire to come to London. Those already there will understand why. So not surprising for many students to do the same. As for 80% claim...hmmm, think you should check the facts first. No B-school will overwhelm their population with one or two nationalities.

As executive Masters go LBS is very good. In terms of ROI, do you really think you will boost your career with a MiF - please substantiate such a claim. If you dont know how to, please enroll yourself at a respectable degree program. They will teach you how to.

Most people who do the MiF are accountants, risk managers and middle office executives looking to cross over to the front office - from the profiling of students, I think at least half were directly from front office or revenue centres.

As someone who works in the city, I think the program at LBS is highly reputable. Whether it works for anyone really depends on your personal circumstance...

Cambridge's MFin was ranked #2 (and by some way) and not #3.
