Well-Rounded Programme that Bridges Theory and Practice
Class of
2024
The MSc covered a wide range of relevant areas, giving students exposure to different fields before specialising in later terms. It also provided a strong foundation in core topics such as fixed income and risk analysis. The coursework offered valuable practical experience, helping us to consolidate theoretical knowledge, appreciate the real-world challenges of quantitative methods, and gain useful material to discuss during interviews. Some modules were quite challenging, but this was ultimately beneficial, as it better prepared us for the demanding nature of the industry.

The programme also included workshops where practitioners presented the latest advances and challenges in both academia and industry. These were especially valuable, as they provided inspiration for dissertation topics, exposed us to less common but highly relevant areas of research, and offered great talking points for interviews or for those considering a PhD.
