Looks like they're on the way up? What do you guys think? Requirements for 2006 entry are now AAB for all courses except Acturial Science which is now AAA.

What do you mean, on their way up??? Cass has always had an excellent reputation both in the City and in academia...

City isn't that bad either! Fantastic for Nursing, and lets not forget that City awards the Inns of Courts School of Law Bar Vocational... Now that's hardly mediocre!

i neva considered that when i was applying for the degree.
i just read the ifr title and it sounded kinda tough and it invoved maths economics and a bit of accounts so i went for it...lol

IB i neva knew they needed maths, it must be a slightly tougher degree than IFRM

yeh apparently. The guys that were on the open day sed BIF is the one the banks love and then IFR. But those two are the two to do.

gezzz this is what we get from these silly university prospectuses.... they up the entry grades? lol well i guess its just the same as before, most students in Cass do have a good enough grades in average. But remember grades are grades, they get you the application form for IB banks (rest is up to you).

And to be honest really stop fighting over which is better BIF or IFRM.
Ok i know some have swiched but think it in this perspective first:

1. Are you into trading more? maybe IFRM suits you more in that case, more specialised that areas like derivatives, investment markets etc.
2. Want more broader Investment banker road? then perhaps BIF for you as it has more to do with Corporate Finance, like half way of IFRM and Business Studies i feel, but you can choose what to specialise in.

Theres is no right or wrong. IBs don't really care what degree you do these days as long as you are good enough for them.

And if you are good enough, you don't need to switch, you can study the other areas you don't study in your course yourself. think wider, not just degrees but on the broader perspective. Maths or not both requires maths. although IFRM maybe more specific, again its up to you what electives you choose.

Im goin to do IFRM and i have no plan on changing. Everyone should stick with what they have chosen. Dont change because u think BIF will give u better chances with IB's (infact IFRM will give u better chances :biggrin:

). A degree from CASS is gd enough to give u a gd opp to get a gd job in a top IB. I dont think it matters much about which specific course u do, thats all about preference i think.

Well lot of Business studies students wants to move into the IFRM in Cass, to give you an idea. But most don't have a clue whether it really suits them or not. IFRM is very specialised subject, like BIF.

If you want, feel free to ask my friends in http://www.gfbn.org they all do different courses in Cass so if you want to know whats it like etc. feel free to ask there. Although bear in mind now is the exam period for us univervsity students (busy times)

no problem but i think one thing is very important, i study my degree because i love what i study in banking not whether the Cass is elite in the country, it still gets me opportunity so thats enough, rest is up to you.
