I’m doing a Master’s in Finance from CEFIMS[1]. It’s a taught Master’s so it’s just fifth year of undergrad, with higher grading standards, though not that much higher. I’ve found it reasonably rigorous and intellectually stimulating and to the extent it’s not rigorous a great deal of that is my own fault for not choosing harder courses. Can’t speak to the esteem it’s held in by US employers but it’s cheaper than almost anything equivalent in the US. If you want prestige and you’re in Software Engineering do Oxford’s M.Sc. They’ll accept enough quality work experience in lieu of a Bachelor’s[2]. You need to go to Oxford for a week for each module though, and the fees aren’t cheap. If you want a regionally accredited US degree cheap and fast people have gotten Excelsior College degrees in under a year. If that interests you go to degreeforum.net. It’s devoted to speed running the credential acquisition process at minimal cost. People have done GA Tech’s MS in CS after.
