MSc Oxford MCF vs MSc Imperial College Maths and Finance
Hi,
I'm currently holding an offer from Oxford for MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finance and from Imperial College London for MSc in Mathematics and Finance. Hope to know what's people's opinion on the two courses?
Specifically which one would be a better one to break into the industry as a quant? (Currently undergrad at Warwick University, but with no internship at any BB)
Also does anyone know how the MSc Thesis with a firm works at Imperial? Does everyone get an internship/project with some bank or is that just a marketing trick? More interested into how many of these projects actually change into offers afterwards..
Thank a lot for the help!
Imperial. It's a target for quant finance. Quant employer even prefer recruiting from Imperial
Oxford definitely. Imperial is not a target target.
You don't know anything. Imperial is a target science school. Trumps Oxbridge. If it was Oxford MFinancial Economics, I'd tell him to do that. But when it comes to quant fin, Imperial.
you see the star beside my name mate?
I dont know what your school has been telling you, but I'd hire oxford over imperial.
Since when did imperial not become a target target?
Generally the Oxbridge name trumps everything in the UK and if you are interested in Finance then it will serve you well for your future career. Imperial is strong in quant stuff as well and you defnitiely can't go wrong if you pick it, but I would tend to choose Oxford to get that name on my CV (the quality of education is comparable anyway) for my future career. Disclaimer: I don't know anything about the courses, I'm judging purely on uni name here.
