MBA/PGDM

Master of Science in Finance - Your Master in finance will train you in financial theory, mathematics, quantitative finance, investments, markets, financial reporting and analysis, and valuation. This is not a general study programme, it focuses on the detailed application of financial conventions in business. Fresh graduates of a Master in Finance with little or no work experience can potentially earn around 45,000 - 65,000 a year, depending on final grades. Earnings as a result of attaining this qualification later in your career will undoubtedly increase, but a lot depends on your particular status at the time. Due to the specialised nature and narrow focus of a Master of Finance qualification, graduates will be best suited for roles like stock traders, investment consultants, or financial risk managers.
Graduates of an M.Fin will enjoy an advantage over MBA counterparts when applying for jobs in equity research firms, asset management, advisory services, investment research, security analysis, and brokerage firms. Master of Business Administration in Finance - MBAs offer training in a broad spectrum of business subjects, including accounting, statistics, economics, communications, management and entrepreneurship.
Most providers will offer you the opportunity to tailor your MBA with specialist modules that are relevant to your industry and goals. MBA graduates often earn more on completion of their studies, and in some cases can potentially get a salary of up to 100,000. However, this depends significantly on the quality of the MBA, previous work experience, and your current job title. For example, some MBA programmes only admit C-level managers whose salaries and bonuses combined can exceed 7 figures once they qualify. Because of the all-round skills learned on MBA programmes, MBA graduates are ready for management and executive roles in almost any capacity, from banks to start-ups. Within financial institutions, an MBA graduate will find themselves with an advantage when applying for jobs in mergers and acquisitions departments or roles in corporate finance.
