MS in Financial Engineering (uk)

[Scube]

hi,

I am working as a programmer and want to get into quant finance jobs. As a starting point want to take master but a distance course as I am working.

May I know which of the universities are providing distance Quant Finance MS degree please.

Thanks

You are looking for an online MFE degree from UK university?
CQF is online certificate, not a master degree

In the US, I know a few options from USC, Stevens but I do not know first hand of their quality.

Thanks for the reply Andy. Yep CQF is online certificate and it is very expensive . I want to get MS degree. so checking for the universities offering MS (Quant Finance) in distance mode. Do you have any Idea?

Check QuantNet guide, we have a list of global programs. You can see which of the UK programs have online offer. I'm sure you will find some programs that you may not be aware of.

Thanks Andy. Sure I will check it. Sorry for tagging one more question. Is a PhD degree a mandatory to secure a job as Quant developer? (My opinion is not)

No. You just need to have ninja programming skill.
