University of Waterloo - Master of Quantitative Finance

My experience with the program has been overwhelmingly positive. The coursework is comprehensive and prepares you very well for quant finance interviews. Furthermore there are plenty of events and opportunities to network with industry practitioners. Our professors are leading researchers in the field and it's a great privilege to work with and be taught by them. The program has a very strong reputation in Canada and will massively boost the resume of anyone looking to work here. The faculty is very well connected with the industry and provides you with opportunities to apply for roles that are not publicly available. Coming from a math background I don't think I would have been able to break into the industry without this program. Waterloo and UofT are considered the two best programs in Canada and Waterloo comes at a fraction of the tuition cost, so for me it was a clear winner. I recommend this program to anyone looking to work in quant finance in Canada.

What more can I say. Lowest tuition, hard mathematics, 100% placement rate, excellent reputation in Toronto/Canada. Best program in Canada. If you just need a graduate degree and be familiar with some financial topics, go to UT MMF, if you want to learn quant skills and build a solid mathematical background, go to UW MQF.
