This course belongs to the very small set that I recommend to no one.
UCL is a top tier place, this is not a top tier course.
It's not "financial computing", it's "lectures we can give that we can sell for 3 times the price than if we called them 'introduction to IT"
Of course none of brucebanner's friends work as quants, it's not a quant course, and teaches little of value to anyone considering this line of work.
If you want an MSc then do an actual maths course, or something involving computers, preferably programming.
For the avoidance of doubt my evaluation of your academic background exponentially declines with the number of "people issues" modules you've done.
...except if you're a security specialist. But not when it's something poked in to allow the slower witted to get an MSc like it is here.
If you want to do security go to Royal Holloway, not UCL.
Any masters course that says that it's aimed at people who don't understand the subject fails to get past my filter.
