TSR Decisions Drop In 17th April - 5th May

I am very confused. Please help! I have received offers from University of Liverpool and Queen Mary University of London for MSc in finance and investment management. Which one is better?

hi i was thinking how hard is it to get into universities like Cambridge and oxford, and what you have to do to get into them

What factors should you consider when deciding which university to go to? I’m currently choosing between two and I have considered the course content, location, and placement rate. Is there anything else I should research before making my decision?

What course are you applying to study?

How old are you and what qualifications (including grades) do you currently have? I can't really advise without this info as Oxford and Cambridge (but especially Oxford) are extremely competitive when it comes to Medicine.

How are you defining the word "better"? What features or characteristics would make one of those universities or courses "better", from your perspective?

Is cost an issue? (The Queen Mary course appears to be significantly more expensive (£14,500 vs. £20,850 - and that's this year's rate for QMUL). The cost of living will also be higher in London, obviously.

Have you checked the course content at each uni (here for Liverpool's "Investment and Finance MSc" and here for Queen Mary's "Investment and Finance MSc"). Do they both cover the modules you're interested in?

It's worth saying that the Cambridge medicine course certainly (I'm less knowledgeable about Oxford) is quite different to that at many other universities, and looks a lot more like a 3-year theoretical degree and then a 3-year practical clinical training. It's probably also a subject where the Oxbridge pedigree counts for a bit less, assuming of course you went on to practise as a doctor.

That's not to say that there aren't other things about the Oxbridge experience that aren't still very unique! In short what you'll need to do is do very well at both GCSE and A-level – but your main focus really should be on the medicine bit rather than the Oxbridge bit, and making sure you have a very strong medicine application.
