Hello everyone,I got accepted to Cass for its Msc in Finance program. Can anyone please comment on this program ? Thanks. how is the repuation of Cass in London?The thing is that I have to pay my £1000 deposit by the end of this week, and I am trying delay my decision since I am still waiting for an answer from Imperial. My questions is that which of the two programs (cass or imperial) is preferred by the City employers? Personally, I prefer Cass for its curriculum. However, I know Imperial has a better name worldwide. Here is some details about me:21, Graduated last December with GPA 3.7 from an English speaking college in BelgiumMajor in Business Ecnomics with very limited maths coursesHad work experience (financial analyst) and 2 internships with the world largest oil firm

Cass sucks.

this has def been discussed - i think the summary is that if you are interested in academics IC is the better choice. For simply getting a job they are prob equal although IC maybe slightly better for more quantitative roles.

This isn't always a problem but I have had many occasions when I have asked one of my clients what requirements they are looking for in a candidate academically, and many prefer candidates from Imperial. To be perfectly honest though, the key to getting a junior role is getting a good internship in the area in which you want to work. If you get a Masters Degree from Cass, and get a suitable internship under your belt you will do fine. If you get a choice between Imperial and Cass though, go with Imperial. Best of luck!
