any MFE program in Australia?

[Vic Chan]

Just wondering if any one knows any MFE or PhD program that related to quantitative/computational finance in Sydney, Australia?

there are a few guys, look up UTS (uni of tech sydney), you can find this sort of thing using google. Most are sold in the format of a masters program, which i think is very different in style to what a lot of the new york boys experienced.

UTS offers Master of Quantitative Finance program in 2 years. There is also recommended curriculum and short briefs of courses on the website. Hope this helps.

Any more info on Quant based masters programs in AUS? the university websites are not very informative so far as class profile and placement stats are concerned. Any guess on how the recruitment is going in the current season given the economic slowdown.

Thanks <pacman> , I found some content on a few univs. There are quite a few univs offering this course in AUS. However, what is not very clear from any of the websites is whether the cohorts are recruited at an even pace or how the general trend is and some basic stats like median salary etc.

Lastly whether resident Australians are eligible for Commonwealth Support for Computational finance courses. While the AUS government website suggests that residents are eligible - its not clear as to whether the benefit is being really received.
