Hello everyone,
In a bit of a dilemma on what to pick as a masters, have a few options. Just for context on my background and goals: have done some internships in Markets/investment research roles in banks/AM. Currently doing econ at undergrad at a target, part of the idea with this masters is to be more in contention for quant trading/research roles (I admit these aren’t super target programs but I don’t come from a math/physics background).
Ideally, I’d like to work in the macro space in some kind of strategy/trading role and so this feels like the next step of maybe being more focused on developing that quantitative foundation a little bit more and creating a better signal from that perspective.
LSE: MSc Financial Statistics (Has the perk of being much cheaper than the others)
UCL: MSc Computational Finance
Imperial: MSc Risk Management and Financial Engineering
Columbia: MA Mathematics of Finance
UChicago: MS Financial Maths
Would appreciate any comments/advice.
