A finance degree from top london unis is far better than unis that you have listed. But don't fall for unis that are obscure and just happen to be in London - not all London unis are equal.

Hi Hippierajput,

I'm an MA student at UEA and I've been very happy with my course and the opportunities its provided for me. But my subject is Literature and that's quite far from Finance. I don't know much about the Finance Msc, but:

You can check out the Guardian League Table here: https://www.theguardian.com/education/ng-interactive/2018/may/29/university-guide-2019-league-table-for-accounting-finance. UEA is second out of the universities you've listed (after Exeter)

The same is true in the Complete University Guide: https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings?s=Accounting%20%26%20Finance.

If this is important to you, UEA is the second closest to London (after Leicester). The fastest train from Norwich to London is 90 minutes and that's straight to Liverpool Street right in The City.

If you'd like to talk to a current UEA student about their experience, you can do so here: https://www.uea.ac.uk/study/askastudent.

I hope this is helpful.
