LBS MFA vs. LSE F&E
Have seen a lot of threads on here pitchingLBSMFA againstLSEMSc Finance but none against MSc Finance and Economics. So here goes -
Have got an offer from both places. A little bit about me - Economics undergrad from a top Indian university, graduating top of my class, couple of internships (though only one is even remotely related to Finance). I want to get intoIB而且我知道，只有我的研究生的品牌名称不会帮助我找到工作。虽然我的目标是GSor MS, I am more than happy to start out at smaller firms and gain the requisite work ex.
回到Unis，我的担心是 -
- The F&E course seems quite theoretical (it is supposed to be a good foundation for phd as well) as opposed to MFA which is quite hands-on and applied. Hence the skills learnt in MFA will be more useful (?). The courses in F&E do not seem to be something which will particularly help me in my future roles at banks.
- LSEseems to be a much bigger brand name globally (especially so back in India) which can possibly be a factor.
- MFA was launched recently in 2016 whereas the F&E is older and more established.
我应该选择的任何见解吗？鉴于我目前没有太多相关的财务经验，哪所学校将使我最好为顶级投资银行提供服务。（我可能会在两个地方将我的程序延长一个额外的学期，以便我可以进行暑期实习）。

F&E is a great course academically but it does not compete with MFA if we are talking strictly about placement. If what you care about is getting a job, go toLBSand don't look back.
谢谢回复！Also what do you think about the extra term that increases your programme length to 16 months? Is it worth doing? I think it'll open more doors for me for summer internships because I can apply to banks which require penultimate year students and since I have no work ex, It'll be better for me to apply to as many places as I can for the best shot at landing an internship/job. I could be totally wrong tho lol, do let me know what you think!
同意上面的评论。如果您关心位置和找到工作，MFA将领先。如果您想进一步进一步研究，那就是被称为经济学院的原因。
I think both places will give you great opportunities to land anIB演出。尽管根据我的理解（正如其他评论员已经提到的那样），MFA将为您提供更多的动手体验和LBSprobably focuses a bit more on placement / career impact. Anyhow congrats on the offers, got myLBSMFA offer yesterday too. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the insight! In the first forum discussion you linked, it is said that most students atLBSMFA have some kind of work experience. Do you think I will be at a disadvantage there then? Because I'll be competing directly with them for jobs and if they have more experience, they'll be preferred? And there are only so many people a company can take from a school
Personally, I have not heard thatIBs有政策仅雇用X人从某个大学雇用。
My advice will be to get a relevant intern / working student position before joining either programme. You can obviously be very proud of yourself to get a place at bothLBSandLSEthough the truth is a place at a great uni simply won't do it alone if you want to get intoGS/MS/JPM。来自全球顶级机构的数百名学生都适用于这些有限的职位，请始终牢记这一点。因此，尝试在今年夏天获得一些财务经验，然后选择您认为自己最喜欢的计划（肯定会给您提供面试的机会）。也许是最后一点，如果您认为您不会获得任何相关的工作经验LBShas the upper hand as it seems more practically focused and will give you more hands-on experience during the degree. Either way, best of luck to you and again you can be proud of yourself to be admitted.
MFA每天，特别是如果您想做IB。
谢谢回复！您在上面对其他评论的答复中提出的问题中有任何见解吗？任何帮助将不胜感激 ：）
对于16个月的事情，IDK，但是是的，是工作经验。尝试之前尝试做某事LBS, doesn't necessarily have to be finance related. ButLBS拥有一个强大的品牌，没有工作经验的人仍然可以获得好工作，这会更加困难。
这两个课程的位置确实没有太大的区别。选择您认为自己会享受更多的一种。如果LSE在印度是一个更强大的品牌，您可能希望以后再回家和/或与之打动朋友和家人，而不是选择LSE。
The two brand names are equal in London, with an advantage towardsLSEoverseas.
To be honest,LSEF&E is probably the most prestigious and academically demanding MSc atLSE（比其他已经很苛刻的硕士计划要多）。
To be honest,IBinterviews aren't that hard finance-wise, learn WSO'sIBguide and you're good to go. Then LSE's MSC F&E will provide you with a stronger quant story, but be less aligned withIBin terms of learning.LBSwill be much less theoretical.
选择您喜欢的人（可能是您正在寻找的出口OOPS，例如对冲基金可能需要强大的Econ理解与占权益研究角色的会计？）
您认为会计和金融在以外的职位方面也很强大m&aIBD？
LSEMSc A&F? It's the largest master's fromLSE，人们主要去IB, consulting, private equity, asset management, Big4 advisory and financial analyst positions in the industry (P&G, Amazon, etc).
