COMPARE New York University MSMF vs Columbia University MFE vs University of Oxford MCF

[BusyLearnin]

My current goal is to go into Quantitative Research for a financial institution after graduation. I'm looking for a highly technical program, preferably with emphasis on computational finance, which I can use to help me start a career in this field.

Ideally, I'd be able to earn a PhD after working for several years, but my main goal is finding a solid technical program that I can use to gain some research experience before joining the workforce.

Which of these three programs (Columbia MFE, Oxford MCF, or NYU MSMF) do you think would best help me get the career I want?

If you want to go on to do a PhD, IMO you're better off doing an MRes at Imperial in Mathematical Finance...
