Hi Mate,
Sorry for late response I haven't checked this site in a long time. If you are still thinking where to apply in the UK and not just the very biggest name universities, I would suggest having a look at our program at Sussex, designed by Carol Alexander. We've been going three years now and have put a lot of work into it. Based in a business school but still lots of quants as quite a few of us are originally from maths (and we aim to attract maths students), so it's a great mix of practical stuff and quant in my (biased) opinion anyway. Here's the site: MSc in Financial Risk and Investment Analysis : Business, management and finance : ... : Study with us : University of Sussex
And here's and old thread on this site when Carol was first advertising it a few years ago:
https://www.quantnet.com/threads/sussex-msc-in-financial-risk-and-investment-analysis.13979/
Still definitely in time to apply for this year, so please take a look!
Good luck with your decision,
Michael

Cass is your best bet. The oppourtunity to network with recruiters is the most imp element to land a job.
