Imperial College Msc Finance 2012-2013

Does it cost to apply for MSc programmes in the UK?

Someone told me a few years ago, it was free apart from the LSE which charged something in the region of £50 per application.

They also insisted students paid up front for their graduation gown and tickets BEFORE releasing their results (bad deal for those who failed)!

I just knew that I am on the waiting list now.

Can anyone tell me what the probability that I would receive a firm offer?

Imperial MSc Finance > LSE/Warwick MSc Finance. Just read up on the different modules offered by each one.

Thanks, yea i was definitely aware of this. Judging by the website, LSEs equivalent appears more generalist and theoretical. Imperials a great deal more focused and technical. But Im slightly concerned that I may find it too technical versus LSE or Warwick and would struggle. My background is in economics not maths engineering or statistics so im worried that I may find it hard to cope with level of maths they expect. For example i've never touched stochastic calculus, advanced partial differential equations or any advanced matrix algebra. And from what im gathering on various fora, the majority of admits come from engineering and maths.

Should I be worried? Is there anyone who has completed this course, is on this course, knows someone doing it, who can give me some advice? Really appreciate your input.

Check out the pie chart at the bottom.

I can't speak for myself as I'm currently an undergraduate but I do know one person on the LSE course and another on the Imperial one and both of them are mechanical engineers. I'm sure you'll get more answers here but if I were you, I'd call Imperial up and ask.
