About the course
If you’re passionate about mathematics and also want to explore today’s financial industries, this integrated Masters course is for you. The course is particularly relevant if you’re interested in a career in research at a university or in industry.
You’ll build on your core knowledge of pure and applied mathematics and statistics, while discovering the world of mathematics tailored to financial analysis. You’ll learn from experts in both disciplines.
Our modules are based on the latest research. You’ll experience contemporary concepts in mathematics and gain a solid grounding in how they apply outside of the classroom. Early on in your degree you take core modules. In your third year, you choose from a variety of options including:
-
financial mathematics
-
financial risk management
-
valuation of companies and cash flow generating assets
-
derivatives.
You’ll develop your analytical and modelling skills using industry-standard software such as MATLAB, Python and R. You’ll grow your research skills in Year 4, preparing for an advanced research project.
Academic advisers support you throughout and you’ll have lots of opportunities to engage with potential employers. You’ll also have a dedicated careers adviser.
You’ll graduate with the skills needed for success in research or in the financial sector. You’ll gain experience in analysing large data sets, coding and team working.
The Department of Mathematics is a close-knit community where you’ll get to know your lecturers. Their dedication and support will help you to get the most from your degree.
