Kings' College London - MSc Financial Mathematics

The content of this course is high-quality and has a standard similar to that of other big-name universities in the UK, which charge much higher tuition fees. Many of the lecturers are excellent, however there are a small number whose optional courses are avoided with good reason. The application process is simple and rarely requires an interview. The quality of students is varied, with many performing exceptionally well throughout the course and going on to study PhDs or acquire excellent graduate jobs, and others who struggle in many modules. There are career services provided, and the University has an industry partner in Santander UK, with whom a small number of students may be selected to complete their dissertation project in the summer. Overall I would recommend this course especially due to its value for money for home students and the content covered, but it may lack the industry prestige of the top UK universities.
