Uhm, you don't want to go to Bocconi or what? It's as quantitative as you can get from a straight MSc Finance course, and one of the few with a Quantitative Finance specialization. Of course you can do a degree in Quantitative Finance, not just a specialization, but this might limit your employment options a bit. E.g. if you decide to apply for M&A someone might ask why did you take so many courses which teach you how to price complex derivatives, etc. On the other hand, if you do the straight Finance degree you can simply omit the specialization in Quantitative Finance from your CV. I love the SSE curriculum, in fact I chose it over Bocconi for the exact reason you should consider Bocconi more carefully - Bocconi was too quantitative for my taste. I don't think there is a more quantitative program in Europe labelled as a straight MSc Finance.
