“The experience has been great specially the interaction with people from different cultures. I think there’s almost full information provided for incoming students. Would have maybe liked to see more interactive sessions because it’s difficult to meet people in the course of 1 year.”

“Many people I knew who joined a master's program assumed that, with this qualification, they would find a job easily. However, this is not the case if this is the career outcome that you are looking for. Joining a master's program requires intentions beyond finding a job. For example, writing research on a specific topic you are interested in, or planning to start a PhD in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend a master's program unless you have a clear intention. Speaking about my experience, it has been very great, as I made many great friends, involved myself in many extracurricular activities, and learned more about the subject that I am studying. It's a more intensive course than undergraduate, as your time has now been compressed to only one year, so there is a lot more to catch up on and a lot of content to memorise. Regarding the application process, make sure you apply as early as you can, as many universities have rolling admissions. So, the earlier you apply, the higher your chances of getting admitted. I would suggest doing relevant standardised tests like the GMAT or CFA Level 1 if you want to get into a finance related master's to heighten your chances of getting admitted. The course content is alright, as they use a pretty general approach to studying the module. However, depending on the modules, some subjects can be particularly difficult without any prior relevant experience. My last piece of advice is to do your research. You can ask alumni who studied the course that you intend to study and ask them about their experience, so you know what to expect and how to make your postgraduate experience a fulfilling one. Hope this helps :)”

“Application process was pretty smooth. Course offerings were listed sufficiently. However, one gripe I had with the system is that it does not allow me to view the specific description and assessment format of the courses offered. I can only do so by logging in to the KEATS system, but as a prospective applicant, I do not have access to the system at all.”
