Quantitative Finance and Mathematics MSc/Diploma

Course Description

This exciting new programme introduces modern mathematical techniques and financial modelling, such as portfolios options and derivative pricing, for students with a mathematical background. In particular it will introduce the probability and stochastics often not included in standard mathematics degrees. Following the Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 there has been a shift in the practice of mathematical finance. The emphasis is now on possessing a broad range of skills that can be applied to practical problems. The aim is to understand, both quantitatively and qualitatively, risks and uncertainty involved. The MSc focuses on practical computational and applied mathematics aspects of finance and uncertainty, and students graduating from the programme will have excellent employment prospects that are not restricted to any one narrow sector of financial services. We have a practical applied approach to the material. This will provide you with relevant and modern skills, in demand in the UK and internationally, relating to structured finance. Programme duration: MSc - 1 Year Diploma - 9 Months
