Guess I can answer your question with my experience. A few years
ago I was hunting for a MBA course. But I had already a marketing
diploma (CIM). I was looking for a postgrad finance course ( at
that time thinking of going into banking). There were specialised
MBA finance courses and there were MSc Finance courses around. I
think the main difference is that some universities conduct MBA
FInance courses ( but the depth to which they do so can be selected
by the student) such that students can mix and match topics quites
freely and end up doing a half FInance and Marketing MBA. For the
MSc Finance type courses, these tend to stick to 2 or 3 major
routes ( either you end up specialising in Corporate FInance, or
say Management Acconting , or Equities and Bonds trading). I tool
the MSc Finance route... and ended up more or less knowledgeable in
Corporate FInance.
