Default Re: Best education if I want to become a financial/investment analyst?

But what if I study industrial engineering with financial mathematics as my electable "base"? I'm don't quite know what the course contains, but it sounds like it could be of use.

A rough translation of the financial mathematics courses:

- Stochastic processes
- Options and mathematics
- Financial derivatives and stochastic analysis
- Financial risk
- Financial time-series

What do you think?

Thanks for all the help so far btw.

that sounds a lot like the program I did in undergrad (graduated last year). we sent lots of people to all sorts of places in the finance industry.

Nice [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. What exactly is your program/education called and where did you study?

Also, I heard from someone that the industrial engineering and management program at my school (Chalmers University of Technology if anyone's heard of it) has good contact with Berkeley in California. Hopefully my school sends the best students there and pay for the tuition etc. Needless to say, I will study until I drop. If only one student is sent, I will make sure that student is me.
