and from day-one that they start studying, they will be saying, i applied to RecTech and Citadel and Disneyland, lets compare the pros and cons and tell me which shall i go

Hi Cristina,I am applying for some of these MSc and I am Spanish as well. For the time being, I have been only accepted at Oxford. From which university do you come from? What is your PhD about? I don’t know too much about LSE, but I know people at Imperial, Oxford, King's and Birkbeck. Imperial, Oxford and King's are quite mathematical. Birkbeck is much more applied and the MSc focused on commodities is quite good.In all of them you will learn probability, stochastic calculus and statistics; but, in my opinion, programming is something that you should already know. If you have no experience in programming, you have to think in studying it seriously. Drop me an email, if you think I can help you further: leoric44@hotmail.com

Hi Cristinas,I have applied to the same course as you did in Oxford (MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finance) and have been invited for an interview next week. Do you mind telling me what sort of questions were being asked in your interview and can you give me some advice regarding this? The interviewer is going to be one of the maths professors there. Apparently there may be some technical questions during the interview. Many thanks!

Honestly most people who code taught themselves how to do it. Even if you do a course in it you only really learn it by trying it and doing projects in it. Not knowing it right now is a bad reason to not go to oxford. Do the course and figure out how to code.

I think they will ask you basic mathematical questions on PDE, probabilty and stochastic calculas.I have been accepted to 1)Oxford MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finance2)LSE MSc in Financial MathematicsHas anyone got funding to do any of the above courses. Any ideas of how to get funding?
