Investment bank & MBA?

Question

I just graduated 1 year. Applied to UBS but failed after doing the numerical test.
I still would like to work in an investment bank, in equities or wealth management. I'm planning to take an MBA course to better my chances. I have a 2nd "A" Bachelors' degree in Arts (BA). May I ask:

Which MBA should I apply for if I want to get in the i-banking industry?

thanks a lot.

deep_purple84,

Thanks for your informative and encouraging reply. God bless! Will wait for a few more days for people to fill me in, otherwise space reserved for your answer to be the best answer.

thanks Kirk S.

Seems that MBA requires 2-3 yrs of working experience. Whereas, MFin or MSc in Finance don't.

Is it a feasible and good Masters to take too?
Does it require a strong numerical/mathmatical background from the candidate?

Answer 1

First of all , any MBA can be suitable for applying to the i-banking industry , u can choose between Marketing , Audit , Economics , but as an answer to your question i think that having an MBA in finance will raise your chances !! so good luck .. it's not that hard ... maybe there's the "intermediate financial management " could be a little challenging.. but nah ..you'll do fine , as long as you have the will , nothing can stop you..Remember that !
Good Luck !

i'm interior the same boat. Very perplexing, yet my frame of mind is operating in a more beneficial time flex. I artwork as an funding analyst for a brokerage abode. No sales, yet assisting the sales stress and handling resources. This get my CFA artwork req. carried out. I actually have more beneficial time to artwork in tandem the CFA and MBA. after I end the point 3 and ending my MBA i am going to bounce to associate position...
