Hello, my name is Mikhail, I am from Russia. I have been offered a place at Imperial College and Warwick for MSc Finance. What do you think about these universities? Which one is better.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Mishiko

Imperial , definitely. But the cost of living in London is very high ,especially around the Imperial Campus. I guess in your case it would be base at south kensington.If you are loaded with money , Imperial is defintely for you .

Thank you very much! And do you know about career prospectus after Imperial? Can a person without work experience find a job in City after Imperial (MSc Finance)?

You're a non-UK/EU national. Thats going to make life a fair bit more difficult (understandably) job wise.

I have no idea. But I know it is easier to find a job in London than anywhere else in the UK.

Mikhail, Imperial's just opened a new finace division but they get plenty of money to throw around. Warwick is very good too, have a look and see who's got the better academic credentials?

Again thank you! Programmes in both universities are very good. However, I have a question about rankings. Overall Imperial is ranked higher than Warwick. However, the ranking of Tanaka Business School(Imperial) is lower that that of Warwick Business School. ( MSc Finance is located at Business Schools). Which of the above ranking can be a good proxy for the rankinf od MSc programmes? And which programme do employers like more?

hey there Mikhail!

Ive gotta the same sitution as you regarding the courses, have u made any decisions? Its a tough choice i know, im really confused , been researching the last weeks like a monkey lol :)

btw, whats ur undergrad major?

Hello, fishman. I have made a decision. I will study at Imperial. I am studying at a college in Russia. I am working towards two degrees BSc Economics from Russian university and BSc Economics from the University of London External Programme.

Congrats on choosing Imperial, i guess we'll see each other in the classes ;). Do u have skype or msn or sth?

Yes, I have skype. my nick name there is imereli1988.

Hi all,

I got an offer from Imperial to read MSc Finance in October 2008. However, the tuition fee was pretty high. As a result, do you guys know whether there is any source of funding that is available to international student? In fact, I have tried to search for topics in the "Funding" section of the discussion forum but was in vain.

Thanks!

'Do you guys know whether there is any source of funding that is available to international student?'

Read back through the forum for similar posts. Its a popular question.

Hi Whisky.

There is a segment for scholarships at the Imperal website, you can browse various scholarships there, according to the criteria. But as far as i know, it is very tough for overseas ppl to get them...

U have any skype, msn or sth to keep in touch with future colegues ;) ?

There is some problem with my MSN. However, you may send me an email and my email address is Vicki_lui@hotmail.com.
