How good is the #Oxford Masters (MSc.) in Law and Finance program?
Pairing Finance with the law or Legal studies is not a bad combination.
But, you need to develop a road map for your career.

Whether you would like to start off as a #paralegal or as a financial / management accounting or a compliance analyst in the financial services sector of the economy in the long run?!
Because such degrees make you neither fish nor foul.
This is strictly my opinion and you may disagree.
Oxford Universities Degree/s, are second to none.

However, I have very little understanding of SBS programs and the graduate placement track records.
Normally, Oxbridge students don’t struggle much to find a suitable role for themselves!

We are living in a different day and age, where universities care more about making money and offering educational products to all who can pay large sums.
These top of the line British Degrees don’t come cheap!

Now… getting back to your question =>
I would compare this Oxford Law and Finance program with the #LSE’s MSc Accounting and Law.
The latter is a great program made for lawyers and legal analysts who would like to study accounting at a certain professional level.

And, the #SOAS Degree in Financial Law and Finance (only program wise, as this degree, does not fall in the same category of respect).
The former seems to be a more useful pedagogical combination, as you can learn business law, taxation and managerial/financial accounting together, which in my opinion is a very useful combination.
Employers prefer to hire candidates that have sound knowledge of both tax law and tax accounting.
Hence, you should sensibly pair subjects.

Finance and #Law sound great, but what kind of career can you find for yourself?
Corporate Financial Analysis or Equity Financial Research?
But that would require CFA or some other professional qualification.

Asset pricing?
That would again require a more mathematically inclined degree in subjects such as Actuarial Sciences, Risk, Mathematical Finance, Econometrics or any other specialization in Financial Economics.

Risk Management or Derivatives Trading and/or Applied Statistical Modelling?
That would require a very quantitative degree in Financial Math and/or Financial Engineering or possibly some other Physical Science-based numerate qualification.

Concluding Remarks =>
However, you would be better off doing this postgraduate degree if you already have a basic degree in LAW or some branch of legal studies.

This Oxford Postgraduate Qualification, MSc Finance and Law are tailor-made for #lawyers not bankers, accountants or economists!
It is not for those who would like to enhance their working knowledge of Finance.
