ETH UZH Quant finance masters interview?

[qwertzuz]

Hello everyone,

I have recently been invited to an interview for the ETH UZH Msc. programme in quantitative finance.
Has anyone had the interview already this, or in previous years? What questions to expect? I am more-or-less familiar with the prescribed material, but it would be amazing to get to know some more information.

Thanks and best,
Steve

I can't give any insights into the interview process, but for context could you please share your background?

 

[qwertzuz]

Sure!
I am currently doing an undergraduate degree in a well-known university in England. My course is a mixture of mainly Statistics and Mathematics modules, namely in Analysis, Calculus, Probability theory, Stochastic Processes, Statistical modelling etc.
I also had Finance and Economics modules, namely Financial Mathematics, Mathematical Economics, Micro- and Macroeconomics and Financial Optimisation.
If there is any additional information you would like to know, please let me know!
