I am unfortunately not familiar with those universities.

I can say however, that I have been/am external MSc supervisor to ~30 students at Birmingham for the last few years and I am very impressed with the quality of their work. All finance projects are in C++, in which they are trained in the course of the academic year.
I usually interview the students face-to-face in order to define projects together.

In general, I suppose having a good maths background is useful but the prof in Birmingham can tell more.
