Hello Folks,

I did the Financial Systems Engineering (UCL-CS SSE: MSc Programmes) at UCL (University College London), which has a suprisingly good financial computing department. See

Financial Services Knowledge Transfer Network
UCL-CS Information
Financial Computing at UCL

for more info. BTW, do you guys have any opinions on UCL's finance computing courses? Many of my friends - who also did the course - now work in investment banks (IBs), but not as quants - grad programme.

I did a Computer Science degree as an undergrad and I'm currently writing financial monitoring software in C++ and I'd like to get into quants. Is there any advice you can offer.

Will a Ph.D. in Financial Computing (http://www.findaphd.com/custadverts/4year/ucl_engd/fc.asp) offer me a route as a quant into a bank?

PS. the forum is very clunky, especially the HUGEEEEE buttons.
