City St George’s, University of London, Bayes Business School - MSc in Quantitative Finance

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.

I would say all courses are very well designed and structured. Which helps you have solid understandings of quantitative/finance world. The courses like risk analysis, stochastics, numerical methods, etc., are extremely helpful and practical in real-world applications. Moreover, the professors are all generous to support any questions and career development. I highly recommend for joining the quant cluster at Bayes

The MSc was an exceptional experience and extremely valuable for finding a job afterward. The Career Center provided great guidance in improving my CV and preparing for interviews. The quality of teaching was outstanding — a perfect balance between theory, practical applications, and real-world examples. I also built a strong professional network and remain in contact with many of my peers. I’m extremely grateful to the professors, the Career Center, and everyone who made this experience such an important milestone in my career.
