A new chapter for WorldQuant University

Today we are excited to debut the new WorldQuant University website and brand that reflects our university’s evolution and ongoing commitment to making quality education accessible to learners across the globe. Over the past eight years, we have welcomed thousands of learners from over 140 countries into data-focused programs that help students address real-world problems and advance their careers without the burden of debt. In doing so, we have built a community of passionate lifelong learners who are collaborating to build their tech and quant skills. It is this community that has driven us to a new era for WQU.

In the coming months, you’ll see more student stories, more community-driven resources, and new program offerings. Our goal is to provide even more students with the cost-free opportunity to build the skills that are driving modern business and to join a community that values commitment, persistence, and collaboration. We are further scaling our efforts in building the world's most advanced and accessible data-forward higher education ecosystem, and are grateful to have you with us.

To stay up to date on WQU, follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn.
