Hi guys!
I have decided to do a masters course to increase my knowledge about a topic that I am really passionate about. The masters will also help me progress forward to a PhD which will be the first step for me in academia. (I want to work as a lecturer/researcher)
I started looking for universities to apply to and I ended up with the 3 below:
Glasgow Uni
Durham Uni
Birmingham Uni
I have already applied to University of Glasgow and received an unconditional offer for MSc in Quantitative Finance. However I would like to know your opinion on the quality and prestige of these 3 universities and if there are any other universities that I should look at. (it must cost close to £10 000)
At Durham University I looked at MSc Finance (Economics and Finance) and at Birmingham University the MSc in Investments got my attention.
At the moment I am studying BA (Hons) Finance and Investments with a 1:1 expected.
Thank you!

While I have agreed in a previous post with DBSisdreadful about Durham MSc Finance, as a DBS alumni I think that this program is ideal for you given that you plan to do a Ph.D. Durham MSc Finance level is very good, a technical one and mostly theoretical. If they still use the same books, your main book will be Copeland, Weston and Shastri, which will give you a solid basis for a Ph.D. However, with 2 hours per week per course you will have to study mainly on your own. If you would prefer a more practical degree you would go for their MSc Management (finance).
