Hello everyone, my first post on this board.
If you dont want to read everything about me and the full details of problem, scroll to bottom!
I'm currently at the University of Manchester in my 1st year PhD, okay university in rankings in the Department of (theoretical) Physics and sub-department theoretical biological physics. One supervisor is in this department, the other in the physiology (life sciences) department.
I'm somewhat ok in C++ programming, well versed in matlab and both are part of the thesis where i'm hoping to create a modelling platform. I took a few financial engineering courses in my undergrad days. My degree and masters are in mathematics at University of Manchester also.
I hope to be a quant, but I could put this prospect in total jeopardy before I begin this journey, if i make the wrong choice between the following...
One of my supervisors is moving to Oxford but he going to the department of physiology. I will most probably have the opportunity to move with him at this prestigious university BUT my PhD will come from the department of physiology and NOT department of physics or the like, however I maintain my supervisor from manchester (physics) and my thesis remains on mathematical modelling with some experiments.
note thesis title starts with "mathematical modelling of..."
So to sum up do I
1) remain at University of Manchester with PhD from Department of Physics
2) go to Oxford get a prestigious name but from the Department of Physiology.
What do I do
