COMPARE Imperial RMFE vs UCL Computational Finance

[npael]

I have been admitted in these two programmes. Which one do you believe is the best in terms of placement in quant roles( buy side or sell side) in London?

Congrats on the ad npael， Regarding your question, I see Imperial reports a 91% employment rate within three months after graduation, and there would normally be on-campus recruitment events throughout the programme in B School, which is a great chance for you to secure a job even before graduation. UCL on the other side, barely reports "typical" institutions that graduates find work. It actually places students for their dissertation, however (according to the Financial Risk Mgmt course, I doubt the CF course won't do the same as they are both offered by the comsci department).

I would suggest you go over their curriculum and choose the one you would enjoy for a year. Your question would be best answered by messaging people who have graduated from those programmes.
