What Should I Study
« on: January 07, 2007, 01:41 PM »

i need some advice, i just got offer letters from two universities in the UK to study either MSc in Finance or MSc in Business & IT, but i just can't seem to make up my mind. I'm an accounting graduate, an Oracle10g DBa and am currently doing ACCA,  Undecided

  Aay,i am not in a good position to tell you what you want to do,you alone are in that position.If you need my advice i will tell u to go for the one that ur heart tells u to.An Msc in any of them is realy nice.But if u ask me to make a choice, i will go 4 Bus &IT.But infact,any of them is good 4 an accounting graduate.
Cheers

I'd prefer to study business &IT too but i just thought that Finance may be more relevant in Nigeria,

aay both fields are relevant in present day naija. BusIT would further diversify your employment chances considering the certs you possess. Youre doing the ACCA already and Finance would restrict your job choices even more to that end of your qualifications, rmba its a master's. Really a foreign MSc would make you more marketable in naija anyhow, our fake ass emloyers are easily impressionable once they see you qualified abroad. But if I were u Id go for BusIT.
The other thing to consider is the schools the offers are from, check out UK school rankings:

By the way, I plan to study in the UK too and have an offer on hand but funding it is quite a challenge, got any hints?

thanx for the link it was useful the schools i'm applying to are 13th and 21st on the table,
i got my admissions last year but i had to defer it because of funding too.the best thing's to find someone, a family member to sponsor you or an employer, which is rare.
