Postgraduate Options in Field of Mathematics

    I'm currently completing a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Statistics in Maynooth University.
    I'm pretty lost with what postgraduate options to follow. Ideally, I'd like to jump straight into a PhD programme, however a Masters is not out of the question at all.
    I have been looking up programmes in Trinity College Dublin, UCD, University of Limerick as well as several courses in England (Cambridge, Imperial College London, etc.) all in the field of Mathematics.

    Basically I was wondering what my best options are with regard to postgraduate study - I have a while to decide as I'm only in my third (out of four) year but I like to make sure plans are made and know what goals I'm working toward!

    If anyone has any suggestions/advice regarding this matter, or even the finer details of living in or funding in the UK (or even funding for postgrads in Ireland) or what it's like to be an Irish student in the UK, it'd be really appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Comp Finance Masters in UL. Excellent course with v-good career options in Banking, analytics etc. Much cheaper than equivalent course of Quant finance in Smurfit. PhD are vastly overrated imo. You learn much more (hard & soft skills) in the same time period in a decent work place.
