Have you also done MBA finance to make that conclusion?

Kemu also offers Msc Finance and Investment and i agree, i did a BCOM in Banking and Finance and the units in MBA are all similar to what i did. I think Kemu's 1st sem is Financial management, analysis of corporate financial statements,statistics of finance,investment mathematics and financial markets

the big question then, 'isn it in order for one to do what one has already done as an add-on or is it better to get knowledge for something that one has not done?

in my view analysis of curriculum is important because value addition is paramount to take this country forward.

i did an analysis if mba courses that offer relevant finance courses for the financial market and found that only the msc finance from K.U is the most worthy of curriculum for the financial maket sector (after cfa)

brian i understand what you are saying. but some of these public and private universities offer mba courses that half bake their students on completion of the course.

i once spoke to a person whose notion of doing an mba was to get knowledge. to his amazement,he felt that being a financial analyst requires one to intuitively study the core finance units such as those in the cfa curriculum. (CFA is an mba in itself) the units he was covering at UON were not core per se compared to his expectations.

in short i dont mean to condone our local mba curriculum, but i feel that the finance option within the mba program should cover derivatives ,fixed income , asset management and alternative investment units to change with the changing times- other universities like nigeria, capetown even in egypt have re assessed their curriculum.
