This is the course page for BSc Mathematics with Finance at the University of Southampton. Find out everything about Mathematics with Finance and what studying here involves. In this course page we explain a range of key information about the course. This includes typical entry requirements, modules you can take and how assessment works. We also suggest career opportunities open to you as a University of Southampton graduate of BSc Mathematics with Finance. This programme produces graduates with a good finance background and strong quantitative skills, making them highly employable. Graduates can look forward to careers in a wide variety of financial areas: in the stock market, in international banking, in business, in government and the civil. The mathematics component of the programme provides a firm foundation in the main areas of mathematics, and then develops the area of statistics further, as statistics is particularly important in finance. The finance component begins with a grounding in micro and macro economics, looks at the principles of finance, and focuses on portfolio analysis, international banking, and futures and options. Transfer to this programme is normally only possible early in Semester 1 from a number of other programmes in the School.

Employability is embedded into modules from the first year onwards and right from the first lecture. We explain the degree skills which are being taught throughout the modules and offer a number of optional employability modules. Technical skills you will acquire are in great demand, as are the skills of understanding and analysing problems, together with communicating the results.
