hello deepak
it really depends which school you are applying too and which course you wanna do.there are many schools which require a compulsary gmat and there are quite a few who will take you without relevant work ex.
so first decide which unis you wanna go then just mail them and confirm there admission criteria!!!!

Hello uk apirant .
I am in the same boat as u are and I am also interested in pursuing an msc in finance from uk this year.
Have u applied to any other university except lancester and strathclyde?i feel lancaster is a good university but not the best for finance in uk.I personally feel u have a grt profile and a grt gmat score which should help u to get into any of the best finance program in uk.
The experience which u have is it in any finance related field ?if yes then u can definitely apply to best finance programme in uk ----lbs-mif (according to my view lbs-mif is best).
According to my research I have found out that the following colleges are best in uk for finance programmes.in the order of there rankings.
1)lbs-mif
2)imperial college
3)lse
4)city university
5)warwick.
This is completely on my personal research.would like to hear from u guys and all the seniors pgites that whether I am rgt or wrg?Especially from mr sandeep gupta as this guy is in uk and is really willing to help newbies like us.
Do correct me if I am wrg or have I missed any university, lets try to make a complete list and ranking of all financ programes in uk.
I am particularly interested in applying to lbs-mif and thats why preparing for my gmat.
Bye guys.

hello frd
i have also done a lit bit of research on icma center.
but what i have found is that its is a grt university and it is funded by icma.
but still the university has not gained popularity among uk employers. i mean to say no big banks recruits its students on campus.
then what i have concluded is that if u want to come back to india ,then icma is a grt university to go for ib but if u want to live in uk and work there then i feel it would be very tough and the changes are 10/100 of u geeting a good job.
so be prepared and see what u career goals are and plan accordingly

and remember i have also a student like u,so just dont accept my perceptions. but ask some more ppl who are there in the market and better u have done there msc from uk and isma.

hope it helps
any more query post it!!!!!!!will try to help u .
