Question

I've heard that CFA Degree is being provided after completion of level 2 MS(Finance) is it true?

Answer 1

The only way to be awarded the Certified Financial Analyst designation (not degree) is to complete all three levels of examination, plus experience requirements. Though there are many areas of overlap between a quality MS (Fin.) degree and the CFA Body of Knowledge, the only way that the CFA Institute can maintain its quality control is through its own exams.

However, there are many world-class universities around the world whose programs are patterened after the CFA Body of Knowledge, so if you graduate from them, you'll have studied much of the materials you need for the CFA exams. If you are considering a career in financial anaysis, you should consider going to one of these institutions: check the website of the CFA Institute for a list of such partner institutes.
