London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE Speciality : Mathematics
programme: Financial Mathematics

The diversity of the societies and activities at the university and the vast range of events that are organised for our benefit is overwhelming. It is a very friendly and productive environment with a supportive pressure to perform well and a very career-driven atmosphere.

The course I picked, BSc Financial Mathematics and Statistics is one of the most demanding courses at LSE, but is worth it, as the work you put in ultimately translates to your results. You do have leisure time to go out and spend time with friends as well as studying. The work ethic at LSE is overall very strong, with people pushing each other to work as hard as they can.
