COMPARE University College London MSCF vs Imperial College Business School RMFE

[OmMilind]

Hi all,

I've been accepted to UCL's MSc in Computational Finance and Imperial College Business School's MSc in Risk Management and Financial Engineering for Fall 2025. My goal is to become a Quant Developer, ideally in London.

Quick background:

BTech in AI & Data Science
Strong Python/C++, ML/DL experience
Projects in algo trading, reinforcement learning
Internship in data engineering and analytics

I'm leaning towards UCL for its technical focus, but Imperial has strong brand value and networking. I’d appreciate insight on:

Placement into quant dev roles
Program reputation among top firms
Fit for someone with a tech-heavy profile


Thanks in advance!
