Anyone going for the course?
yes I am applying too... want to share profiles?
I am thinking of applying to this course as well, anyone currently enrolled in this course? thanks!
i got the offer from NTU. But dunno should i proceed or not....
There are too many graduates in the market now. Graduating with a masters doesnt necessarily promise you a job as an analyst etc.
The first set of modules will be:
1) Applied Econometrics
2) Advanced Microeconomics Theory
But one thing is for certain - can give tuition at the undergrad level in the future with $80 min for tuition fees (1-on-1)!!!
what's your currrent job? is it relevant? will it help you in furtherin ur career?
if answers are all negative, i wonder if there's any value in you proceeding....
what's your profile by the way?
I am currently not working. Not sure if the master course is any help to me in the light of the many graduates already in the market.
depends on what kind of job you are looking for and how senior you were in your previous job.
Financial Institutes economic research, yes. I think very relevant and useful. In fact one of the must have.
so i guess you are going for the Msc FT...
good luck~
I a very keen on being an economic research. But after applying for many times, I was not called for any interviews.
I believe that there are many more people more competent than I am in terms of relevant experience and qualification. Even if i have the Master, it cant gaurantee me a job as a researcher or an analyst.
Hence I have decided to forgo it. I am finding a temp job now.
isnt the deadline on 30sept, why they so fast give offer liao???
Becoz i applied early mah. I need to accept the offer by 30 Sep. The preparatory course will be from 15 to 19 Oct.
Anyone going for the course?

I accepted the offer after much consideration as I feel that a degree is now very common and hence taking a masters increase your chance of finding a job . Hence taking this masters would open up more doors as public sector will likely consider someone with local uni as compared foreign uni . Thus , I accepted the offer .
Nus is more costly than ntu . That's y I did not consider nus .
how long it takes to reply you an offer?
usually, the faster it is, the fewer number of applicants there are...
I am not sure of the prestige wise but I feel it's the same as both ntu and nus are both local uni and would be equally recognized in Singapore .
