Answer 1

I have never heard of Quantities Finance. Given that I have a PhD in Finance from Berkeley and have taught Finance at MIT and Wharton -- I suspect you mean something else.

Do you mean Quantitative Finance? Any school that has a good finance program will teach a number of courses that are highly quantitative. They are sometimes called Financial Engineering, Continuous Time Finance or Computational Finance.

Usually, a student who majors in finance will take a lot of mathematics as well as other business classes and economics classes. He should take a number of finance classes. All are somewhat quantitative -- but some are very mathematical. Classes you should take if you want to major in fniance are:

1. Introductory Finance (only a little math)
2. Corporate Finance (usually case based)
3. Investments (some mathematics & statistics required)
4. Derivatives (AKA Futures and Options -- very mathematical))
5. Fixed Income Finance (Interest rate processes cna be very mathematical)

After those, you can take electives that are more -- or less mathematical.

The top undergraduate business schools are also the best for finance -- they include, University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), MIT, Berkeley, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland.

A few others that are quite good are Babson, Villanova, Minnesota, Wisconsin, USC, UCLA, etc.
