Hey
I'm new to this network .i'm egyptian ,studying communication systems engineering and signal processing here in egypt. I still got two years till i graduate and The word financial engineering is not familiar here in egypt,Noone knows about it!
I found this field by chance and the more i read about it the more I felt that this is what i should be doing for living!

What i'm afraid of is that when i Apply I won't be admitted cuz i dont have any years of experience in my field,and cuz i would graduate from a university that is not well known globaly.
I'm planning to apply next year , I wouldnt have finished my bachelor degree yet is that possible?? I mean I should apply at least 6 months early than the start time of the program and I want to start as soon as i graduate.

I need counceling. What courses should I study what should i prove myself in so that i would have better chances at being admitted ??
I have two years i'm planning to take the Business finance cambridge certificate and improve my programming skills.
what else should I do??
Its my dream now to become a quant,Plz help!
 
It's possible. No way to know for sure until you try.

To better your chances, take lots of math courses and learn to program. A high GRE score is important for US programs, not sure about UK.

Look at the requirements of a few top programs you are interested in.
 
You can apply as soon as you want, as long as you obtain a bachelor degree before the master program starts.
Obviously, if you apply too early, you won't have enough required courses to be considerd for admission.

While I have seen a number of people applying in their senior college year, majority of applicants have already graduated or been working for few years.
