Difficulty of CFA Program Partners vs CFA

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on the hunt for a good finance-related Postgraduate degree to do in the UK (sponsored by my employer). I will most probably go for it next year, hopefully after completing my level 3 exams this June.

I was looking at the CFA Program Partners and came across the Masters in Finance from the University of Cambridge. I checked out the course brochure and it said that 70% of the CFA Candidate Body of Knowledge was embedded in their degree programme.

Knowing that Cambridge is one of the very top universities in the world, I’m pretty sure that their postgraduate degree programmes are very difficult.

Therefore, considering how tough the CFA exams are as well, I’m wondering as to whether a person who has completed the CFA exams will still find the Cambridge M.Finance degree (or, for that matter, any CFA partner programme) very tough, or would it be comparatively less difficult since the person has undergone and completed the CFA exams?

Thanks a million in advance.
