MSc Financial Management university of manchester

They mentioned that this is a conversion degree? and because its online blended learning , do you think this is a MSc that will be valued by employers?

Thank you.

Looks expensive! I think the term 'conversion degree' means that it is designed for students who did not take relevant undergraduate degrees. For example someone with a degree in History or Psychology might have a look at this course. Would it be valued by employers? I think you should check with employers in countries you might look to work in. Masters degrees have not been such a big deal in the UK as they are in some other places.

By the way - if you are doing ACCA why not take the UCL distance learning masters degree? Its a lot cheaper. The course above seems to have a lot of overlap with ACCA which could be good but you are paying to repeat materials.

Hi ajj2000,

Thank you for the above , yes , i have looked into the UCL one, but i think that is master in professional accountancy.. but since ACCA is already equivalent to a Masters , i don't know how much value it really adds..

I'm interested in Doing an MBA afterwards, but from my research , some people suggests a masters in finance might be more relevant for me as i don't have much managerial experience. Im on route to getting an Bsc from oxford brookes university for applied accounting. however, i see that most good finance programs require degrees in a quantitative subject and accounts is not one of them... so just checking my options.

One motivating factor for me is that university of Manchester is ranked on the top 30 universities in the world , so with my very limited academic background, this is probably the best ranking university i could potentially get into..
