QFin Trading Team: Semester 2 2025 Application

Looking for a solid introduction to quantitative finance? Want to sharpen your strategic thinking? Considering a trading internship? Applications for the Sem 2 2025 QFin Trading Team are now open! As a member, you'll participate in a semester-long mini-course covering key topics in quantitative finance, including probability, data analysis, game theory, options, and machine learning. Each week, you'll attend structured workshops led by graduate traders or past interns, where you'll explore trading concepts and engage in hands-on trading games. Throughout the semester, you'll also work on a structured algorithmic trading project, applying the skills you’ve learned in a practical setting. Since its inception, the Trading Team has seen tremendous success—last summer alone, 15 former members secured graduate or internship roles at top trading firms. As our sponsors, these firms recognize the value of the Trading Team and its impact on a resume. We have limited spots available, selection for the Trading Team is based on a online assessment, as well as a single interview (held on campus). This interview helps us learn more about you, your interests, and your skills. The technical portion includes a few probability/math brain teasers and a small programming exercise to assess your familiarity with Python. You won’t need any math beyond high school level or Python knowledge beyond basic syntax—we're more interested in how you approach problem-solving with what you already know. If this sounds intimidating, don’t worry—just going through the interview is a great introduction to what you’ll experience in the Trading Team so we encourage everyone to apply! If you'd like to prepare, we have a copy of our 2024 Sem 1 interview questions on our linktree (link in bio) Applications close July 25th so don’t miss out. Click the link in our bio to apply!
