What do you mean ?
good job..
Dear Pankaj,
You are requested to send me the Excel sheet which you’ve prepare to calculate accounting ratios.
Hell Pankaj,
My name is swati and i have currently enrolled for the IBEM course in UoE. unlike other I dont want to know about the job prospects but about the value for money that i will be getting here.
I have one year of experience in Asset Management – JP Morgan.
mail me if you can about the course….thanks…
if u can give me contacts of alumini from this course it would be great…..thanks
Dear Swati,
It was really smart of you to ask for Value for money. I think, you are looking about the long-term benefits of the course.
I strongly believe that the University of Edinburgh is certainly a wonderful place for a scholar. It broadens your horizon tremendously. So broadly speaking, it is a nice university and worth the investment.
As you are have work-ex in Asset Management, I would strongly advice you to reconsider the choice of your course. Perhaps you would want to look for MSc in Finance & Investment (http://www.business-school.ed.ac.uk/pg_study/msc/fin_inv/index.html) of MSc in Accounting & Finance (http://www.business-school.ed.ac.uk/pg_study/msc/acc_fin/index.html). One of these courses would make more sense with respect to your current role.
I would also strongly advice you to join FICCI as a member in India before coming to Edinburgh. Being a member, you would be invited to the conferences within and around Edinburgh and you shall greatly benefit from those sessions. I have recently joined FICCI and today itself I was in a conference with VP (UK), Tata Consultancies Ltd., Head – Asia Desk in Grant Thornton and the likes.
So, as far as value for money is concerned, it would really depend on you to generate the value. There are many great initiatives within and around the university that you can leverage benefits from.
I hope my answer helps you and others.
Regards
Pankaj
I agree with sabeen, very good job
Hello Pankaj
My name is Alok Nigam and I have completed my Btech in April 2008. I have done it in civil engg frm NIT Durgapur, India.I have an offer fr MSc in Operational Research (with Finance) frm UoE.I have no prior job ex. and I wish to work in finance related fields.I want to knw about the job prospects after this course and also whether I should defer the offer till sep 09 and join it only after some job ex? Will it increase my prospects of a better job.For me there is a hefty sum involved and hence I am kind of much worried about the job, so that I can repay the loan easily.
Thanks & Regards
good job
hi Pankaj
Hi have got offers letters from universities like coventry and aston. I hope i get some more of those. plz let me know is it worth doing a one year MSc without work ex in terms of job prospects?
Dear Reader,
I would strongly advise you to first check the international standing of the university you are applying to. you can check the same at: http://www.topuniversities.com/worlduniversityrankings/results/2007/overall_rankings/top_400_universities/
This link lists top 400 universities in the world. The site also helps you determine the rankings of universities on various categories.
Besides you need to consider your Bachelors degree also. For e.g. if you are BE (IT) and pursuing MSc in Management, you stand very little scope of good job without any relevant experience.
Also, the entire world is going through Economic Recession. Oil Prices are sky High and so is inflation. Companies are recruiting less and are cutting more jobs.
These circumstances make is all the more difficult to secure a good job.
The ranking and reputation of university alone will not help you secure a job. Please be considerate of various factors. That will affect you.
I hope I could be of some help.
Regards
Pankaj
