Part iii is completely focused on theory (that’s what Cambridge does! Cambridge statistics means purely mathematical/theoretical statistics and Cambridge applied math means theoretical physics lol). It is true that surviving part iii means you are smart but being smart is a plus while being professional in applied stat/ml/programming are requirements. The part iii guy is from ecole polytechnic which with ens Paris is considered the most rigorous math education in the world (better than Harvard/MIT in my mind), so I’m sure he can do very well in both theoretical and applied aspects and find a satisfactory job in buy side. What you need is not to dig too much on the mathematics side so I think imperial is the best fit. Alternatively, if you go to part iii I guess you will need a secon MSc in financial math or go to do a PhD for a better preparation.</p></blockquote><p></p>
