Hi everyone!
I have received an offer from City University of London for BSc Mathematics and Finance (this year's intake). TBH, I applied for this course just by looking at the title of the course. But now I have read the course structure, and I have found that it doesn't offer financial subjects such as derivatives, risk analysis, portfolio management etc, and it focuses on microeconomics and financial reporting (if I am not wrong financial reporting is related to accounting, right?). Also, it doesn't offer the mathematical subjects such as stochastic processes, stochastic calculus, stochastic analysis etc, though it has probability in first year but I am interested to study at least stochastic calculus at undergraduate level.
I have applied at another institute, and I am waiting for the outcome of my application, and I really want to join that course because that matches very closely to my academic interests.
Now lets say if I don't get an offer from other university (God forbid) then I will have to join City University of London. So what are future rewards of this course in terms of job and further studies (assume that I will get first class or minimum 2:1)? Should I concentrate on this course and then after the successful completion of this course I should apply for MSc in Financial Mathematics at places like LSE, IC, Oxrbidge etc so that I can start my professional career as a quant?
I will appreciate if someone can shed some light my questions.
Thanks in advance.
