Hello there,

I'm due to graduate in 2 weeks so I'm looking for things to do afterwards, specifically I was wanting to do a PhD or masters - - but I left it too late and now can't find many scholarships for which deadlines have not yet pasted so my new plan is to possibly get a job for one year and with the money earned go back and do something afterwards.

While looking for work, Quant and other financial engineering jobs came up though I'm completely unfamiliar with them, it seems they have some connection with my degree. I've ordered a few books on the topic and now awaiting delivery though I'm wondering if anybody would recommend a good University course that teaches this topic (preferably in the UK or Japan) - in case I do actually take an interest in it :)
 
You are not sure which area you are intending to do masters or PhD in. "Quant and FE jobs" are too general concepts.

Which topic?
 
I'm not entirely sure: what are the differences between quant and FE?

Sorry if I might've jumped the gun on my post, I'm still reading through some of the other threads
 
Thanks, that was very informative and quite interesting :)
 
Thanks for both lists. I've added some books from your list to my reading list :)
