The "Is this university/course good enough for banking/consultancy?" thread

Damn staright it's a seriosu question!

I think UCL or Imperial at least offers a MASTERS in financial Engineering, but I may be wrong. Anyway I'm doing Econ so screw you!

Would chemical engineering look like a very good numerate degree vs A+F? Is it worth going through the workload of engineering - would it really help differentiate yourself when it comes to finanace jobs? If its not a huge difference, I mayaswell just stick to A+F and try do more EC's/reserach (since its easier degree)?

Well u learn sumthing new everyday... dun Eco at GCSE wasnt al that great engineering defo better in my opinion.

Royal Holloway - Economics vs CASS - Inv. Financial Risk Management ?

RH Economics > Cass UG.

Cass UG are all CITY (you won't touch CASS, unless you do postgrad) with the name. Sadly employers will know this (they know what they invest in) and it won't look so great.

I'm talking about undergrad. what top uni offers financial engineering for undergrad?

I believe it was a joke

It "belongs" technically, but all teaching of all the CASS courses are done in CITY, which is quite a blow in terms of respect the courses at undergrad should be getting, right?

Well I heard that CASS Postgrad is recognised by IB, not the UG - Since it doesn't even teach the UG itself. You are right, you prob won't make it from RHUL to IB, but having a decent uni (RH) for a very good course (Economics) gives you opportunities to go for good masters in Economics or business - thus making you quite a desirable person.
