Doctural programmes in Financial Engineering

Has anyone got any information of the Colleges/Universities that offer a doctoral programme in Financial Engineering, the prospects of funding for UK students and the career opportunities resulting from hold a PhD in this area?

It is a relatively unknown field of Mathematics in the UK so the best opportunity for someone contemplating it might be to pursue it in the US.

Thanks, you guys. :smile:

You should try and decide which area of the united states you want to study in.

Are Financial Engineering courses that popular in the US that they are all over the country? :eek:

If they are then I will obviously consider which one would be most appropriate; but for now I would appreciate some relevant information.

We only have one structured course in this country and that's at Birkbeck College, which is predominantly for older people.

I went to Stanford, there was a program in Financial Mathematics..definitely master's level, not sure if it was to PhD though.

Thanks, shady.

There is plenty of opportunity for programmes in Financial Mathematics here, at Masters level rather than PhD.

My query specifically related to Financial Engineering since apparently it gives greater kudos for career prospects than the ^.
