Cambridge MFin Program Review?

Hi all! I am considering applying to the Cambridge MFin program, but I am hearing mixed reviews about it. It would be super helpful to hear some reviews about the course in terms of the quality an the career prospects after the course.

Well, if you have money that you don't need to use it somewhere else, then go for it. You will have a Cambridge brand on your CV. If you have some finance background and think that this program will get you employed in good institutions, it is wrong. Career service is horrible. Lecture quality is not even ordinary. They basically charge you 50-60k to give you Cambridge tag. You will see weird students from different backgrounds with confused minds. Maybe 10-20% of the cohort will be dedicated finance students and you need to get the feedback from those guys. Others go there to spend their families' money and the only feedback you can get from them is how beautiful Cambridge city is.

Hope it is explanatory enough.

Hello kd9559

Could you DM me or describe the problem? I have also read mixed reviews and the employment report is not so good at least on the data on employers but in the FT and QS rankings the programme its doing well.

Any detailed advice would be appreciated.
