Is MSc from CITY worth 27,500 pounds?

<t>Interesting, whenever I heard the term "Top 10" I always assumed Cass was considered among that list, guess not. Speaking of name recognition, can anyone who's worked in North America tell me which UK schools are well regarded in the industry over here? I'm in Toronto and before I began applying,...

Is MSc from CITY worth 27,500 pounds?

<t>for me personally, i don't think the question here is whether the program is worth it academically. i don't disagree with the point that programs like birkbeck may be equal or superior to some of the more well-known programs in terms of academic rigour. however the int'l recognition of a school a...

Is MSc from CITY worth 27,500 pounds?

where are you getting the 27,500 number from? are you including living expenses? i'm just curious because my tuition for 2004/05 entry is 17,500 pounds (also overseas student). of course, that's still rediculously expensive.
