Hi,
I believe this isnt the best place to ask this question, but I have been scratching my head over what to go for. I am planning to pursue my masters in the UK as an international student, and the options I have gotten are:
  1. Edinburgh: DPT: Computational Applied Mathematics (MSc) - 1 Year (Full-time) (PTMSCCOMAM1F)
  2. Durham( financial technology track): https://apps.dur.ac.uk/faculty.handbook/2022/PG/programme/G5T209
  3. Nottingham (not keen on this): Data Science MSc - University of Nottingham
While I'm sure these are fine, I wish to ask, which course and uni would you recommend, strictly in terms of the coursework? In terms of costs, Durham offered a scholarship, so adjusting for accommodation, the difference is roughly 4k pounds. I am curious about how does the course feel for more quant roles(but not restricted to it strictly ), and which uni between these enjoys a better reputation globally and locally?
 
Probably Edinburgh > Durham > Nottingham. Did u apply to London unis or Oxbridge? Quant roles are more targetted at these unis
