Elaborate on foll para: Plants has to be nurtued with water,sunlight,and fertilisers to grow well.Likewise money has to be invested in right sectors/right areas at right time to grow as well.But there are risks involved in it.A layman(an ordinary investor) may not be aware of all this or may not have the time to learn all.I personally find it very exciting helping out such people and the companies likewise by filling in the gap.It gives me immense pleasure to see money grow and wealth not eroding because of right techniques of investing and risk management.It would be of great help if I could get a professional training in this from a premier institution.Hence seeking out this.

I'm not sure if you can consider Glasgow as a 'low rank university'. What do you consider lower, and in what way? As in, lower than say the top 40? These types of rankings tend to be either somewhat subjective or inaccurate. Many consider Cambridge to have out done Oxford long ago. Yet these rankings still put Oxford first. What you have to remember is that a ranking is just a ranking. The location and the course content is also what matters. Also, there is no real correlation between salary and the university you went to here in the UK. Someone who has a degree in Philosophy from Oxford will probably earn less than someone with a degree in Business from Aberdeen. It's the actual course that matters as well, as some graduates from different disciplines will ultimately make more money. However, that's not to say you shouldn't try and get into the better schools. It will look better on your CV. But just don't worry yourself too much. Hope this helps and good luck with your application!

Bournemouth University has a strong reputation as one of the strongest 'new' universities in the UK. In fact, BU has been named as the country's number one 'new' university by the Guardian University Guide for the last two years (2009 & 2010). Bournemouth also has an excellent reputation for graduate employment thanks to its superb links with industry. From a quality perspective, the Quality Assurance Agency has given the University its highest level of confidence in the most recent audit (published earlier this year). Where research is concerned, BU emerged as the fourth most improved university in the UK following last year's national Research Assessment Exercise with eight of the areas assessed featuring work that is of world-leading status internationally. Above all, perhaps, as a student you'll want to know that BU is a friendly place with supportive staff and great resources to help you achieve. As for work experience prior to an MSc, it can certainly help particularly if that experience is in an area related to the programme you're about to study. Some MSc programme actually provide a period of work-related experience or encourage you to apply what you are studying to the workplace which can prove invaluable later in your career.

Looking over the coursework for the LSE program you mentioned, in the United States a comparable program would be an MSF - Master of Science in Finance, and I say that because the theory is quite nuanced (as a graduate degree should be) into financial economics and financial markets, with a high degree of technical application. You'll find similar programs in the States at: * University of Illinois - Champaign / Urbana * Washington University in St. Louis * New York University - Stern School of Business * George Washington University * University of California - Berkeley * Claremont McKenna Most advanced programs in Finance, Financial Engineering, Quantitative Finance and Mathematical Finance are doctoral level in part because of the heavy emphasis on research. Master's-level programs in the States tend to be more applied towards business (although these will prepare one for doctoral study). I hold an MA in Economics from the University of Missouri at St. Louis, and took graduate-level classes in finance. I'm supplementing my study with preparation in the CFA program, which is something I'd suggest you consider. You could do worse than to earn your CFA while working through a Master's program - the material in both lend well to each other.

Hmm. If you're talking about straight finance (discounted cash flows, etc.), then pretty basic algebra is all you need. If you're comfortable with exponents, then that's about it (1+r)^n. If you're talking about general Economics, then that is a different story altogether. I took a graduate Macroeconomics class once that use several concepts from Calculus III (Lagrange multipliers, etc.). If your masters degree is geared toward the real-world application of finance such as an MBA degree, then you'll be just fine with very basic algebra and you should spend your time getting comfortable with financial modeling. If you're looking into a more academic course of study that would involve broader economic concepts, I would hit as much calculus as you can. Seriously. Graduate level economics is no joke when it comes to math. Good luck!
