They come in the top 10 in some league tables and then not in the top 20 in others. How highly regarded are they (for financial maths)?
My main concern is what future employers think of them. Any advice?

Hi Danny,

I don't know anything about financial maths, but my advice would be ...

Ignore the league tables. You should be looking at the department (you can have good departments in 'bad' uni's), and also checking out potential supervisors (i.e. their publication record/how many students have they seen through to PhD completion).

Hope that helps.
