LSE MSc Financial Mathematics

[soytricker]

Hi, I have been accepted to the MSc in Financial Mathematics at LSE, however, I don't know if this program is worth to work as a quant in Europe. I have seen that other masters like Imperial's MathFin or Oxford's MsMCF are more renowned for this, however, there are contrary opinions about LSE's one.

Do you think that, not having other offers, is it worth paying the £36k for the masters + the cost of living in london, to then work as a quant (be it researcher, analyst, developer, ...)?

Thanks!

What's your alternative? Going right into the job market?

I am already working in the industry but not in a bank/hedge fund which is my objetive, and I believe that a masters would be key in achieving it. Plus, I completed the bachelor in physics in Spain where there is almost zero quant industry so moving to London (or similar) would be quite difficult without a MSc/PhD.

Hi, are you from Spain?
