The problem I see is that I don't know of any quant firms in Sweden. Looking at this ranking of Swedish universities overall (Here), Malardalen is 15th in Sweden and 1025th in the world.

Here is a link to the topic of European FE programs on Wilmott (Here), which basically puts the best FE programs in the UK.

I think the biggest issue is proximity to financial centers.

riteranj so, did you go for the degree after all?

Never heard of Malardalen. If you want to study in Sweden then there are 2 good Unis which offer master degree with specialization in financial mathematics - KTH and Stockholm University - both are very well respected Unis, especially KTH's math department. If you want to focus on computational science in generall without studying some finance in particular you can look at Chalmers too.
