Overall experience was above average. I chose this university because it was offering me a degree in the field of Quantitative finance without any hard entry requirements (Like a high GRE score or a BSc in Mathematics or computer science).

Course Curriculum

9

Big data, machine learning and Time series are quite rigorous. Other subjects are manageable. The course curriculum is wide. Regarding industrial exposure, you have a choice in the Dissertation to either approach a company (any company in any country) or a college supervisor. I chose the company.

Faculty

8

Best faculty - Professor Mohammed Fundoon for Stochastics He is a very kind-hearted professor. Faculties are easily approachable for clearing doubts. They don't help in getting any part-time or full-time jobs.

Campus Life

10

It is one of the best universities in Scotland. I used to visit the Library most often. There is loads of space available in the library. I loved the Learning and Teaching building where students can collaborate in big spaces and work on a project. The gym is paid for.

Placement

2

No facilities for placements. No company visits the campus.
