About Us

DSQS brings together students interested in data science and quantitative finance, from using data to solve real-world problems to exploring the maths behind financial markets.

Throughout the year, we run competitions, talks, educational sessions and projects, giving members the chance to learn new skills, meet like-minded people and hear from people working in the field. Whether you're interested in how data science is applied in business and technology or how quantitative methods are used in trading, there's plenty to get involved in.

For the 2026/27 academic year, we're excited to be working with BCG X, Jane Street, Oliver Wyman, Susquehanna International Group and TPP, giving our members opportunities to connect with these companies and learn more about the work they do.

You don't need loads of experience or to know exactly what you want to do after university to get involved. Whether you're interested in the technical side, curious about financial markets or still figuring out what interests you, DSQS is a great place to start.
