大前辈，真是哪里都见得到你啊，您的回答估计吓住LZ了，LZ既然选择了Finance，而不是数学，就不用想做Qua ...

所以我覺得樓主是搞不掂數學，但也根本不用搞定之……
所以我也認為樓主當去ust. 不過做風管的話，沒legal沒math background的話，估計做到good position難度頗大……and thus will be better to focus on securities analysis.

Can I apply for exemption and/or advanced standing?

Exemption on core course may be granted if candidates can produce evidence, such as transcript and course syllabus, that a course is equivalent in content to another course taken elsewhere for which a satisfactory grade has been obtained. No credits will be given for the exempted course and candidates shall be required to take an approved alternative course.

Advanced standing of up to maximum of four courses may be granted if candidates can provide evidence, such as transcript and course syllabuses, that they have taken equivalent courses at a graduate, postgraduate or master level from a recognized programme elsewhere with a satisfactory grade or possess a relevant professional qualification which was obtained before entering the programme. In such cases, no replacement courses will be required and the tuition fees will be adjusted accordingly.   

Candidates applying for advanced standing should have achieved a good grade in the course within the last four years. Course exemption and advanced standing are subject to the approval of the MFin Programme Director.   

according to the website, you are correct, but it seems a bit different from what I was told by a couple of friend, according to the info session.


maybe a bit out of expectation, I am really doubt that the offical website is the wrong one.......it is quite strange that "Exemption", by graduate course, is required to take additional course, but "Advanced Standing", can be by graduate course or prof qualification, is not required to take additional course. This simply doesn't make sense......

貌似CFA三级的知识量差不多相当于国外金融本硕的知识量，所以我猜测Advance Standing应该是需要CFA三级并且成绩应该要优秀，Exemption应该CFA二级就可以了。

I will disagree, since exemption can only be granted by course in other master, but not professional qualification

"Exemption on core course may be granted if candidates can produce evidence, such as transcript and course syllabus, that a course is equivalent in content to another course taken elsewhere for which a satisfactory grade has been obtained."

P.S. in general, a MSF wont cover CFA III, but only up to II:
1. III is indeed easier than II, at least academically
2. III is indeed kind of more practical, and thus most master won't cover that.



In details:

what I guess is with a CFA II, one can apply for Advanced Standing" ("or possess a relevant professional qualification"), and "No credits will be given for the exempted course and candidates shall be required to take an approved alternative course.".

and if one had a master before, then one can apply for Exemption, "produce evidence, such as transcript and course syllabus" (which is a more strict requirement) and "In such cases, no replacement courses will be required and the tuition fees will be adjusted accordingly.

It is quite obvious that the requirement of Exemption is much stricter than Advanced Standing, and thus it is not reasonable that the more difficult one will reward less....
