    Is there anybody in this forum who is working towards this degree program? I am looking at this program with the intention of starting it in Fall, eventhough i would have liked a more generic Finance MBA.

    Anyone with any advice on this, please comment.

    I don't know why they call this an "MBA". This is a specialized degree to banking/finance and does not resemble any MBA I've seen before.

    These are the courses (6 required):
    Bank Financial Management
    Financial Law
    Risk Management: Principles & Applications
    Corporate Finance
    Law and Regulation of Electronic Finance and Internet Banking
    Macroeconomic Policy & Financial Markets
    Banking and Capital Markets
    Banking Regulation and Resolution of Banking Crises

    This is not an MBA Curriculum. It appears to be an abbreviated version of thier MSc Finance.

    I think this one should be avoided.

    Edit: I suppose if one wanted a masters in banking this might be a good option, you just might want to clarify that it is a Banking degree and not a typical MBA.

    I agree. As a banker (like Macattack) I think this is too specialized and 1) would only be applicable to British banking practices (or perhaps commonwealth countries) and 2) if one wanted to teach, it would not allow the holder to teach anything other than banking.

    Spandalai, do you want to be a British banker?

    I am not looking to be a british banker, infact i am looking at a more generic Finance MBA, as i mentioned before. Since UoL has a good reputation as a DL school and the school which is offering has a strong finance/economics grounding, thought i would take the feedback from this group.

    Appreciate the views.

    I did look at the two school you mentioned tcmak, Imperial is pricey for me, MBS is borderline on that front. I wonder if some of the schools in the US would fit the bill.
