LSE or Imperial
Not sure if this is the right forum. I am currently an undergrad at imperial studying engineering, debating whether I should do an MEng or a BEng plus a masters somewhere else in either applied math/financial mathematics. Does risking a switch makes sense, especially if I end up doing something like Applied Mathematics at LSE? I am applying for all sorts of trading roles in both buy side and sell side and both quant and non quant. Which route would leave the most doors open? Should I perhaps consider studying pure finance for masters? Thanks
Really no point paying more to go to LSE tbh.
The cost would be around the same for the two programmes.
That's surprising
The added benefit of switching to LSE is unlikely to exceed the cost. Not worth in my opinion.
What if the programmes cost the same? Do you think any other uni might be worth the switch? Thanks
Probably still no considering the opportunity cost of your time.
Wouldn't do it - Imperial is a target uni and with an engineering background, you are more than qualified to be a quant (or not, if you choose not to go down that route).
If anything, from what I recall being told at a BB presentation, studying a STEM subject at a STEM uni like Imperial is way more applicable in the FO S&T desks at the moment given the level of automation and technical skills required.
