Are there any diplomas or short degrees I can do that will allow me to apply for MFEs? Or are there MFEs that will allow me to apply straight away without any math background (but will allow me to enrol in some math courses before the program starts) and without any related work experience?
I am a bachelor of commerce (honours) student in finance from Australia with no uni level math background besides 2nd yr econometrics. we're only learning econometrics because we'll need it for our thesis. the finance subjects at my uni lacked any real mathematical content; it was usually just, plug the values into something like the BS model and calculate the option price. There were no derivations/proofs of models or anything.
I ultimately want to end up as a FI trader, and I know that the MFE is more suited towards people who want to become quants. However, I have been asked in a lot of trading internship interviews about my maths and programming background and so I want to study an MFE as I believe it is the best degree (compared to other masters) to prepare me for a trading interview and job. thanks
