    I completed the IMC whilst working during my industrial placement year. The content is not extremely difficult to learn and it definitely provides you with a good introduction. If interested in working in the industry I suggest you complete it and add it to your CV

I am in my last year of my bachelor, so I am able to do the first level cfa. What would you recommend, the IMC or the first level cfa in the final year and than the whole cfa after my bachelor?

Do I have a fighting chance to get in into investment banking or private equity in Ireland or the UK since I'm a non- EU national?

    It looks like the IMC is preferred by asset management firms like M&G or Baillie Gifford in the UK as an entry level qualification that deal with institutional clients mostly, whereas the IAD is preferred by wealth management firms like brewin dolphin and rathbones that deal primarily with private clients and provide an investment service. What ive said is only an opinion and you should seek advice from recruiters or hr employees in the financial services sector or asking investment managers if you can make contact with them. Hope that helps.

    I think it may still be useful for people who don’t have a financial background academically or professionally and is generally seen as a stepping stone toward those people to CFA L1 and beyond.
