QuoteOriginally posted by: mathsteveHello everyone,I am currently attending a renowned german university and studying for an undergraduate degree in applied mathematics.I will probably get accepted for the msc mathematics at Cambridge University (the CASM) next year, and I might also have the opportunity to do the mphil statistics at cambridge.How strong is my profile when applying for a graduate trading role after finishing one of these? Will the banks always prefer the person who also did their undergrad at oxbridge/LSE or would I have a good shot assuming nearly perfect grades? Would a PhD financial mathematics, a PhD statistics or a master of financial math/eng. be able to further improve my profile? I am only asking about applying for a graduate trading program here. thanks in advance everyone.if you want to work in the uk, than getting a degree from cambridge will definitely help. at least to get invited for an interview if the rest of your cv is ok. without that, i would think it is almost impossible even to get invited.
