General elements of a MFE helpful for going into HFT?

[J Courtney]

I know that Financial Engineering Masters programmes can vary, sometimes significantly, in terms of content covered, but I was wondering what topics generally covered in these programmes would be helpful for, specifically, going into High-Frequency Trading as a trader

Thanks!
