Given the post about best master in EU to land a job in IB, I thought could be interesting to share which master I think could help you get a job in S&T/Quant, based previous research, personal experience and advices of friends in trading/quant positions.
In S&T and Quant the concept of target/semi has less importance than IB, but these masters are for sure what I think the best. If I forget something just feel free to comment
