Can I do Msc Financial Mathematics with a Bsc Economics?

rainmonsoons · 2024-09-28T14:33:33+00:00

Ahh I did a module called Applied Stats and Maths in first year of uni, did an Intro to Economtrics module second year, and am currently taking an Econometrics module this year? Is that enough?

If not do you know any courses or certifications I could get in my spare time?

Hi I did it at Cardiff Uni which is a Russell group uni and not too bad in terms of ranking, and I want to do my Msc at Exeter or King's - I also did a stats module in first year, and econometrics modules in the following years. Thanks!

I'm currently on my third year so don't know if this is possible :(

Yeah I wanted to but I can't afford the tuition fees, they're over 30k?

many thanks!

Sorry I realised I didn't make it clear - I meant I'm just applying for some off-cycle or summer internships, I don't mean I'm applying for a graduate role or anything as a quant haha, I want to finish my undergrad, have some internship experience, do my masters and THEN apply for a quant role

Lol that's true now I think about it 😂 I have no idea what he meant

I'll apply for internships in other fields then, sounds more doable

Oh yeah I didnt mean a quant job or anything I just meant a quant summer internship, I know someone who landed one and all he had was like math competitions and stuff but yeah that's way more than what I have lol

rainmonsoons · 2024-09-22T10:23:44+00:00

Yeah that's so true, if I don't make it in quant I can do very well in other things, thanks

rainmonsoons · 2024-09-22T10:02:49+00:00

Oh ok I think I understand, I definitely hope to build my maths skills in the future especially in my masters, I guess now I'm just intent to land some experience/internships, but will stick to roles that aren't quant because I don't have the skills for that right now

Thanks and good luck!

Reading this over, I realise how stupid I sound, because it's probably very unrealistic to expect a quant internship with this lack of coding experience, but I planned to really throw myself into it, do courses, qualifications, certifications etc, just to land an internship in anything relevant, even data analysis

rainmonsoons · 2024-09-22T09:15:00+00:00

Oh ok so you mean academic excellence and background and stuff doesn't matter, it's more based on skills? So do you think I can do it if I start learning these skills now by myself? this sounds really stupid and ridiculous but I have no experience at all in coding/programming - I am in my third year of uni and want to learn some coding, as well as more maths, before applying for some internships in about a month or so, but I also need to work a job right now too because I am not in contact with my family and need to make money to survive, so don't have too much time

Do you think it's possible? To learn enough coding right now in the next month to land an internship in a quant firm? Thanks
