MSc Economics and Finance

Hello,

I’ve been made an offer to study an MSc at King’s Business School for entry 2020. The MSc is Economics and Finance, but this master is new for 2020, so there aren’t reviews.
Has anyone else applied?
Do you think is good?
I’ve also been made an offer at Queen Mary for the MSc Finance and Econometrics. This master has more history, but the reputation of Queen Mary is not as KCL overall.
What would you do?

Hello, I made Kings Econ my firm choice and now Im doubting it. Could you refer to me a bit more about the course please? (maybe through email or facebook) Thank you very much.Tereza Vesela
Hi! I also applied to this course at King’s but I’m still waiting for an answer! Regarding your question I think it depends, if you want to study further economics and maybe do some research, I would go for queen mary. If you want to go into banking maybe Econ and finance is better! I applied to the course although I didn’t have a high 2:1... Could you tell me a bit about your educational background so I get an idea of my chances please?

Hi, may I know when you applied and when you received a reply? I have been waiting for around 10 weeks now and have not received a response.

Hello. I applied around 31st of October I guess, right after the admissions for 2021 intake started, and I received the offer after 8 weeks. Another course of International Development for which I'd applied took around 10 weeks for them to reply. I've received a positive response for both the courses, but I will be going ahead with the Economics and Finance one. Give them some time, you'll get in considering they've taken 10 weeks now to look at your application!

Hi guys, I’ve been waiting for a decision on my application economics and finance msc for 16 weeks. Is it normal? Should I keep waiting or move on with other offers? Any thoughts?
Just accepted my offer for the programme, but only recently know that it is in fact a new programme starting in 2020. And last year the school was closed due to Covid. So does it mean that the coming year will be the first year they have physical class for this programme in the campus?
