    Both look very interesting to me and I would like to go down the finance route as a career.

    Are both of these courses any use? Has anyone here completed either of the courses or know anyone who has? Did they end up with a good job? Should someone who completes these courses find a good job? Have the courses got a good reputation? What is the downfall... I mean, why not study Finance in Smurfit school? Any difference when it comes to career opportunities etc.

    Any relevant information you know about the courses would be a great help.

    Thanks!

    Edit: Postgraduate Diploma in Finance - DT 374
    MSc. Finance - DT390

    Yep, I've applied for both - Postgraduate Diploma in Finance and MSc in Finance - and awaiting the decision re the latter (I've already got an offer re the former).

    I'm not really sure what is the difference between them in terms of the workload, etc. Each of which lasts one year, takes four days a weak; the MSc costs a bit more (7,290 euros including the government levy; in contrast, Postgraduate Diploma costs 5,095) and it leads to Masters degree.

    DCU also offers MSc in Finance, but it's not pure finance I presume as it's called 'MSc in Finance and Capital Market'. Costs 8,496 euros.

    There's also a MSc in Finance at Trinity (http://www.tcd.ie/business/specialist-masters/finance/), yet it costs 13,250 euros!
