What Students Say

Dislikes
- No placement assistance
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
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
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
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
No facilities for placements. No company visits the campus.
