MSC Economics & Finance at KCL (King's College London)

Hey,


I just received an offer for MSc economics and finance from King's College London. My target job is to get into a hedge fund in there graduate training program offered by funds such as Citadel or Brevan Howard. My bachelors degree was in Computer Science and Mathematics, I have a data science certification and I also have experience in financial forecasting


1) Is the masters from KCL worth it?

2) what are the job opportunities after graduation?

3) The MSc economics and finance is a relatively new program do companies and investment firms hire from KCL?

 

i dont think kcl is a target tbh. even at undergrad its a semi at best. postgrad dont think its a semi tbh. if u look at ft rankings its not even on there
