Its all down to different opinions, your HH might prefer other programs, but others might not.
E.g. Some banks love the CQF program by Willmot and others don't.
Fair enough York might not be as well known as Warwick, Imperial, Oxford, etc but getting an interview also depends on several other factors. (internship/work experience, PROGRAMMING skills)
Once you have the interview, it doesn't matter where you've studied, its what you know. And from that perspective York stands out compared to Manchester and Reading. The courses content is more mathematical and has a good 2 term C++ module.
Compared to the price of Manchester and Reading (and in my opinion most of the others) York wins hands down. (Unless you are loaded or have funding then Oxford or Warwick would be the best choice.) And content wise I do think York beats Edinburgh!
Yes I am going to York next year, there's no way I could justify paying the other Msc fees especially when I can live in York for free. What you doing Krush? Come to York you know you want to!!
