Yeah but that's because maths opens up the heavily quant careers which most people don't consider anyway. MORSE is equal to maths for most careers and better if you want to be an actuary because of the exemptions it gives you.
Nope straight maths is always better than morse. For actuarial careers they won't choose a morse guy from Warwick over a maths guy from imperial just because he does morse.

Cool I don't really know much about this stuff. Morse does seem to have a bad rep here on tsr. Hopefully employers don't hate it as much.
Would be a struggle as Liverpool doesn't tend to show up in summer/grad/spring week classes nor do many banks actively target it. Still more than possible if you have a great profile and network as much as you possibly can.
It's not hated by employers but it just doesn't open up all the opportunities a maths degree opens up, such as data science and quant careers.
I think for data science it could be possible if you also learn a programming language and do a masters degree, maybe. Not sure though. But you're right about not being able to do quant stuff.

Don't really need a masters degree, the stats/OR you learn in MORSE and a good grasp of programming will be enough.
Thank you! do you know if there any statistics on Leeds or Birmingham students getting internships or FO?
1. forget about 'statistics' 2. forget about 'your chances' 3. just build up as best a profile as you can and do what needs to be done; sure both unis aren't targets or semi-targets as such but people who aren't phased about their competition get in every year - be one of those people
York vs Loughborough? Having read some online websites it seemed that, oddly, the latter actually gets targeted more. What do you think?
Loughborough has been extremely strong in terms of placement lately, in part because of the culture of doing placement years and maybe the alumni loyalty.
