Theory was extensive but exams were basic

Student review

It did provide a relevant source of financial theory. However it is well known that these theories simply do not carry over to the industry itself. I believe there was too much emphasis on theory. There was some good elective subjects that I studied that were very practical related with real data. Overall I was disappointed with the degree.
