Dear Habib,
I know some people who have done the Masters on Complex Systems at
Chalmers, and they were quite happy with it. The advantage of
studying complex systems, being interdisciplinary, is that you can
apply the learned knowledge in a wide variety of areas. So if you
finish a MSc in complex systems, you could apply the knowledge
acquired there to Economics, Engineering, Sociology, etc, but not
vice versa...
Actually there aren't many other MSc in Complex Systems (at least
with that title) I know about... Southampton just made one http://
www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/admissions/pg/complexity_science.php
and I remember another one in Italy...
About continuing for a PhD, I believe it depends more on the student
that on the programme s/he takes. For a PhD you need lots of
perseverance and self-motivation, and sometimes that can be
difficult. After a Master's, those who would like to continue for a
PhD usually find their way, in the same subject, or changing fields.
You shouldn't worry about that now...
I'm afraid I don't have knowledge about the current state of affairs
of the financial market...
Hope this helps,
Carlos Gershenson...
