I did that in italy,siena,is the only one of the entire country.You get a great grip with finance (At the end you will miss only the exotics) but at the same time you get plenty of numerical techniques like Measure,linear algebra,optimization,and so on. 1-I look at the master because i wanna get an overview of BScholes processes and modelling,London is a good place,LSE a good school 2-I wanna be a phd student in financial engineering,dream of keep on studying at lse or usa,like columbia

 

The only thing i know is that lse is not practical as cass,where you do your msc mainly using softwares,but at the same time is not proof based as warwick or imperial.In other words,you study theory and you do exercises at exams.But i need confirms,or people that could advice me.I think that i did and doing enough maths,but i cannot provide feedbacks about myself

 

I made a mistake disguising with another post i was sending in another forum,sorry,excuse me. Anyway it could be urgent anyway since i have to make a choice in a short time Sorry again

 
  1. If they gave you an offer then they think you are good enough.
  2. Don't they have a facebook group were you can ask questions?
