MORSE/MMORSE Warwick Replies

Rather than search or have to look through some long line of warwick application threads i thought i would just ask the question... :smile:

Has Warwick sent out any offers/rejections for their MORSE/MMORSE degree programme?

Even if you are yet to get an offer or rejection have you heard anyhting at all from the university

Also while i am asking question i thought i would ask for those that have applied or considered the Warwick MORSE/MMORSE degree what other courses have they applied for?

MORSE is itself unique to Warwick, i personally liked the course due to its relevence to mathematics and economics and well thoughout structure.

Just wondered what other people had thought when they applied for the course.

He may want Warwick for either an insurance or just for "completeness". He may even want to study there rather than LSE :O Ever thought of that?

London is expensive.

Although LSE sound good and will probably serve me well in getting a job, it has its faults.

Warwick however has the perfect campusand has MMORSE.

Yh i ahave an offer for mmorse. I got it 2 weeks ago.

Btw im in a serious dilemma. Maths and eco at lse or mmorse at warwick. Ive bn thinking about it for a couple of days nd i am finding it very difficult to choose.

Lse is Lse, world reknowned, and every1 recognises it, but wen i went to the mmorse interview i luvd the campus, it was amazing.

Does any1 know which course is better for getting a job in finance in the city??
Obviously both unis r amazing, so im gna dcide on how gd the job prospects r.

Can't really offer a comparison to LSE but from all the financial-type companies that come to all the careers fairs, advertise on campus, etc. I'd say the job prospects for finance careers at Warwick were pretty good. If you have a look on the careers service website (www.warwick.ac.uk/careers probably) you can search to see the kind of jobs graduates from the degree have gone into for the last few years. I'd find the page for you but it appears the Warwick website isn't working for me just now (I think I read somewhere about planned maintenance though) so hope you can find it!

See this is this is the decision i will have to make if i get an offer for LSE.

Some points i've considered-

LSE has the better job prospects, although warwick isnt far behind where finance is concerned. The links are obviously better due to being in the centre of London.

In the world LSE is 11th while Warwick trails at 77th

Accomadation at LSE is well from what i can tell from the pictures best descibed as "awful" while the Warwick campus and area is great, especially some of the nicer accomadation. The benefit of Warwick is doesn't require catching a bus to catch a lecture.

Hi, I'm not quite doing MORSE but I'm applying to Warwick to study Mathematics with Computing. Indeed, lse is an excellent university and so is warwick. Don't look at the stats too much, they don't say much even though it's always good to have an idea of where the uni is compared to others. This could sound stupid, but I would suggest that you first go to warwick to study Bsc MORSE (life is cheeper than in London, accomodation is probably cheeper, warwick and lse are pretty much at the same level for maths). After your 3 years there and that you graduated, go do a 1 year Masters in Maths and Economics at lse, you get the best of both worlds and your job prospects are much higher AND you pay pretty much the same thing than if you just did a MORSE at Warwick. I know the post is called "MORSE applicants", but I feel that it's a good decision to take.

Im a first year MMORSE student, and had the same dilemma as you guys, LSE (BMS/ACTUARIAL SCIENCE or WARWICK?

I chose Warwick, and don't regret it one bit! If you graduate with MMorse you will be in no way disadvantaged as MMORSE is very highly respected amonst employers.

Also MMorse involves more mathematics than the LSe degrees, so If you can't handle the maths, don't do it!

theres no point in doing a masters if you graduate from warwick. Its just a waste of time and money, and won't enhance your job prospects that much (if at all).

You're pretty wrong there ba ba1, I advised JBacon to take a Bsc MORSE instead of a MMORSE course (4 years), so if you think of it: he will be doing a 3 year course instead of a 4 year course. After having having bone a Bsc MORSE, he should continue by doing 1 year more to study Maths and Economics at LSE (thus 3+1=4). Bearing in mind that JBacon already intended to do a 4 year course but only in Warwick, it is a good decision to do 3 in Warwick + 1 in LSE. In might be a bit more expensive due to living cost in London, but it is DEFINITELY NOT a waste of time or money and can only make job prospects better + it resolves his dliemna conerning which uni to choose, diversity is always privilidged by employers in case you didn't know.

Well the cost difference between your suggestion and my possible planned route is 13,000. The additional year at warwick will cost approximatly £7000 if you look at home tuition fees and living costs. However to do a master which isnt subsidisied at LSE would cost closer to £20,000.

The question you have to ask yourself is if £13,000 worth the marginally better job prospects.

PS. 20,000 was a rather low estimate, additionally there is no such degree at LSE

Hi JBacon, yeah sorry Maths + Economics doesn't exist as a Msc. However, you can do a Msc Applicable Mathematics which cost 8130 pounds tuition fees, it's not going to go up to 20,000 pounds like you said, even though I agree that the courses at LSE are very expensive. Doing MMORSE is really fine for job prospects, but by doing Bsc MORSE + Msc Applicable Maths at LSE, employers will see that you have two major unis in your CV, these are the sort of things that make a difference with suck a high amount of competition, and probably between somebody who only did MMATHS and somebody who did what I said. Even relatively "small" things like ERASMUS program in your CV make a big difference. By doing these two courses together, it will probably "only" be I would say 3500 pounds max, with this particular combination. I would suggest you start of by doing a MMATHS degree, and if it is too tough or/and you don't want to do an extra year in the same university, do a Bsc MORSE, get a very good grade and go to LSE to study applicable maths.

It depends what graduate degree i were to go for, a band C degree in Finance and Economics would cost 16,000 in tuition.

Also what is the ERASMUS program?
