Students will develop a detailed understanding of the application of mathematics, statistics and computation to problems in finance, and will gain the necessary practical tools for the pricing, hedging and risk management of a diverse range of financial products in several asset classes.
The Financial Mathematics MSc is primarily a mathematical course focused on equipping students with the quantitative skills to work in highly specialist roles in today’s Finance sector. The course is suitable for students with a significant undergraduate background in mathematics, particularly in the areas of probability and real analysis, as well as partial and real differential equations and statistics.
This course provides graduates with the skills and knowledge for a wide range of career prospects, particularly in the financial services industry, which requires quantitative finance professionals who are able to analyse data, to programme, and who are experts in mathematics and computational statistics.
Graduates from our courses predominantly secure employment in the financial sector, including roles in banking, insurance, consulting, investment, and data analysis. They have achieved mostly highly-skilled positions both in the UK and internationally. Additionally, some of our graduates pursue academic excellence, obtaining doctoral positions at prestigious institutions worldwide
