Hi, I am planning on studying for a Master's degree in Computational Finance / Quantitative Finance / Financial Engineering / Financial Mathematics in the UK. My profile is:

- Undergraduate degree: Computer and Internet Engineering BEng
- First-year grade: 79.38
- Second-year grade: 77.25
- Experience: One-year internship as a software engineer

I have applied for the following programmes:

- Computational Finance MSc at UCL (Waiting for decision)
- Quantitative Finance MSc at Bayes Business School (Offer received)
- Financial Mathematics MSc at University of York (Waiting for decision)
- Computational Mathematical Finance MSc at The University of Edinburgh (Waiting for decision)
- Financial Mathematics MSc at Queen Mary University of London (Offer received)
I was also thinking of applying for Imperial, LSE, or Warwick, but the problem is that I am not sure if my background (experience and grades) is strong enough to have a chance of getting an offer, as reading the requirements of some of them they specify mathematics or physics undergraduates and not engineering. Also, the university where I am currently is not a top-tier university. Does anyone have any suggestions for other Master's programmes in the UK, and how good my profile is for applying?

Thanks!
