Best LSE Undergraduate Course for a Quant Career

[JoshWilson]

For those with expertise in LSE and its programs, I’d appreciate your input on which of the following courses is the best option for someone aiming to become a quant.
I’m aware that LSE isn’t typically considered a top target for quant roles compared to Oxbridge or Imperial (both of which I’ve also applied to), so I’m asking specifically about LSE:
• BSc Mathematics and Economics
• BSc Mathematics with Data Science
• BSc Financial Mathematics and Statistics
• BSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics
Which course would you recommend, and why? Your advice is much appreciated.

Hi Josh - hope you are doing great.

I did Maths with Econ at LSE and some of my friends took the FMS so happy to talk about it. C
