Yes. Tons.

I really wanted to start the Masters course at the very latest in Janurary. Do you think it's possible to gain the necessary mathematical skills from now until then?

Not a snowball in hell's. Sorry. Coming from not being confident using algebra, you'd be doing very well to get to A-level standard in 4 months. You are not going to fit a degree in too.

And just out of curiosity , how much has it cost you so far?

£430. I paid for the first module myself, but my employer has paid for the others. I'm on the old level of fees from before tuition fees tripled because I started before these came in. You'd be on the new, higher fees which are about triple that, unless you're entitled to some sort of support.


Edit: I've just Googled the entry requirements, and looking at the first Masters in Finance that came up, I got this:

All students commencing the programme are expected to be proficient in probability, calculus, matrix algebra and real analysis.

That's definitely years worth of study from where you are now.
