Do you apply in USA with qualification of their educational system?

<t>I think some bank may be good at M&A training, but its training on other disciplines may not be the best. Some are good at quant training, some may be strong at IT training....etc.So I do not think one bank would be good at all disciplines. It would be good if ranks for respective training di...

<t>Thanks for all answering my queries so far, your explanations are very clear~Does anybody know the passing rate of the relatively difficult courses in bbk, such as maths+numerical methods, pricing?I am new to the challenging subjects and I would be quite happy enough if I can learn/understand and...

<t>thanks tomgea Why? Are you challenging me to a fight? Only joking! Brits generally use hard as a term to mean tough. You will find this out if you move to Leeds. Someone will ask you this and about ten seconds later a psychotic northern maniac will be beating your face concave with a brick. Oh, t...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: tomgeaI went to BBK myself, so I am a bit biased but I would go for BBK over Leeds.As you say there will be part time city workers there but these are more of an advantage than a threat. You will get some insider knowledge that you would not get from your fellow student...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: DCFCHard to say what is right for you in terms of the level of content without more knowledge of your background.We see a lot of BBK people, but a lot fewer Leeds BS.You should do the course that stretches you most, so long as it doesn't break you.You are going into a h...

<t>how to choose between leeds uni busi sch's msc. fin maths and birkbeck msc. fin eng?- is the relative higher cost (tuition+living) for birkbeck worth, and being compensated by its chance for landing on a quant career? which one can provide more chances/edges to land on a job in City for an intern...

It is not good HH, as he should not let the 2 companies involved know you are going to attend other interview in one trip.Then there would be no "cost-sharing" problem between the 2 companies.HH would not pay for the trip anyway.

<r>QuoteOriginally posted by: r2338tNot sure what you're trying to get at Jurgen? The link that the Pauper provided is for the Math Finance program. There's also one in the business program. They overlap in some classes but not all and the math students don't have much exposure to the finance facult...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: vbprogrammerWell, to be honest, unless you have previous PhD, the chance that you shall be a core quant after graduating from the MFE is very less. Most likely if you know Matlab, SAS and some internship, then you can do some entry level quant work. Now, it depends on h...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: r2338tI went to UBC. I was in the business program, there's a math finance degree offered through the Math program which admits about 8 people a year and the business program admitted 3 the year I got in. It's pretty hard to get in but what program isn't. If you're not ...

<t>I am also interested in the answer/information of your issue.Seems Cass is the biggest "factory" in London producing lots of financial graduates especially for quantitative disciplines (with considerable amount of international students), can the banks there absorb most of them each year?
