QuoteOriginally posted by: dougieGmastaflexHey folks,Does anyone have any knowledge of the PhD programme from
http://www.financialcomputing.org? The website itself is slightly out of date, with the most recent listed event going back to 2012, but it seems to have a legitimate connection to the London universities. I was considering heading back to Imperial as they have a devoted centre themselves
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/quantitativefinance/ but there seem to be some slightly more adventurous topics floating about the former website. There also seems to be a lot of opportunity for funding. The Imperial page further states that "The Mathematical Finance group is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral training (CDT) in Financial Computing and Analytics", so would there actually be any difference in applying to one or the other?yes its legit.I think the whole thing is also pretty good (not done a course, but have been to events and met students and tutors)As a general rule with DTCs, if a school is under that umberella then it easier to go thru the DTC unless the specific course does not come within the DTC remit or you are not a UK citizen.Best to approach the admissions offices of the schools in question since they will be able to advise on the suitable entry route.
