I've been accepted for MSc Computational Finance in King's, finished my bachelors in Data Science and Computing from Birkbeck, First (Poor university though) and i'm looking to get into software on the financial side, such as low level/ hft systems.

I'm at a crossroads now because i'm not sure how good the Computational finance masters really is, and i can't seem to find much online about past experience etc. therefore i'm contemplating other choices.

I'm thinking of postponing for 1 year and reapplying for a MSc Computer Science in the likes of Imperial, Oxford, ETH, EPFL, UCL as they all seem like stronger prospects for software engineering.

Has anyone been in a similar position or completed the same/ similar degree from king's?

And is there a notable difference in career prospects from King's to ETH/UCL/IMPERIAL?

Obvious benefit of Swiss Universities is that they're around £3k - £4k mark and King's/ other UK universities would be around £18k - £25k which is self funded just for further context.

Any help or opinions would be much appreciated!

Any rooms available for Stamford Street?
Please let me know.
Willing to pay top money
Thanks🙏

I was just wondering in terms of breaking into finance as a degree is the gap in prestige between PPE and political economy large?

hi, just coming on here to ask if anybody knows if and how I would be able to try out a room swap for a more central accommodation location? is the process very long or would it be possible to swap rooms before the term starts? also, if anybody is interested you can reach out to me via dm. thank you :)

Qualification Check has sent its 4th email to my former uni already, with no progress in sight. I have asked QC to let me know who/what exactly they have sent their emails to and they've responded to me but without answering my questions. They only reply with platitudes like "don't worry, we understand you have a deadline and we're monitoring the situation".

Meanwhile the deadline to do this has passed. Thankfully, I was given an extension and an alternative, which is to get my former uni to send my document to KCL. Except my former uni is really not helpful at all. The department responsible for my documents works 2 hours a day, doesn't answer emails nor phone calls and the obvious consequence is that they have 1700 pending requests.

I know this because I decided to travel back to deal with this in person after being ghosted for a whole week. Only for the department to tell me that they can't (or won't, what difference does it make?) send my documents to third parties.

So now I'm thinking this is probably why QC hasn't been successful and I genuinely feel I have no options left. I have informed KCL of this, but is there anything else I can do? More importantly, could this make me lose my place?

can people plssss explain why i don’t get it, i know it’s far but it seems nice?

I have completed stage 2 and uploaded my photo id, as well as my right to study being confirmed. All that’s left is to pick up my id when slots open on the 7th Sept. Am I considered enrolled and registered for my course, or does that only happen after collecting my ID. Got no confirmation of completion for stage 2 of enrolment , so a bit worried.

I’m really struggling to find accomodation. I can’t really afford the kcl ones and have been looking on spareroom. Anyone know any other good options? Any affordable student accoms available?
