You're a Banking & Finance graduate, If I may ask, do you have any work experience(s)? At least 2 years?. How old are you? When did you graduate? School? Career aspirations? These are pertinent questions you NEED to ask yourself before embarking on a further degree and knowing which to choose.

Masters in Banking and Finance if you ask me is not advisable as it's restrictive, thereby making you to be solely in the banking industry. Most IB bankers, whether in VI or Wall Street or The City possess an MBA and not a MBF and from GOOD schools. Which brings us to the MBA program; which business school are you aiming at? Do you have the resources(exchange rate things)? The prestige and alumni of the school? Are you aiming global or intend staying local? If you aim global, I hope the school will give you value for your money? If it's local, anything apart from the Lagos Business School is a fraud. The sponsorship, is it going to be by your company(assuming you're working)? How many years is the business school? 1 or 2?

What are your career aspirations? Consulting, IB, Private Equity, Entrepreneurship, HR etc? If it's the first three, an MBA(CFA can suffice for IB) is invaluable and must be from a GOOD school!!.

In conclusion, an MBA is the best as it gives value for money and exit options(CEO, CFO, HR, Manager, Director). However, getting it depends on the business school and your work experience counts as most and the best business schools wouldn't accept anyone that has less than 2 years experience.
