Kings College's London - MSc Computational Finance

You get what you pay for. 95% of this course can be completed from home. Some of the Autumn modules results are based on an exam in summer that coiunts for 100% of the grade. Only 1 od the modules actually gives you "practical" assignments (only 2) that have anything to do with what a career in finance might entail. Its very theoretical. Some maths modules very difficult if you are not from a Maths/Physics background, the coding modules are basically "intor to Python/C++ 101". Two of the more interesting modules have had their lectureres replaced with TAs who cant even read the slides. This course is a massive disappointment and feels more like a few modules from different courses were thrown togetehr to create a degree. The Mathematical Finance MSc is much better and you might gain some knowledge/skills from that.

KCL is a good university, obviously nowhere near Oxbridge but its pretty well known.

The course itself is rather lackluster. The math modules are intense but the programming modules are too basic.

Eg: The Math module covered Ito's Lemmas, but the C++ module only covered basic programming even though it was supposed to be a Lvl 7 module. (Literally started with data types and basic for loops).

Imo they should extend the Math module into both Semesters and also do the same for the Python and C++ module so that they can actually cover the important parts in more detail.
