This BSc (Hons) degree in Financial Mathematics combines core mathematical principles with essential knowledge of finance and economics. It is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in banking, finance, or economics. The program provides a comprehensive introduction to both financial concepts and the mathematical techniques used in the financial services industry, meaning no prior knowledge of economics or finance is required. You will develop a strong understanding of methodologies crucial for roles in banking and finance, covering areas such as probability theory, stochastic processes, corporate finance, and asset pricing.
This MSc programme focuses on equipping you with the skills and techniques essential for industrial mathematics, specifically the ability to solve real-world problems using applied mathematics. These skills are highly valued in industry and commerce. The course is ideal for those with a background in mathematics, science, or engineering who wish to apply their knowledge in an industrial setting, and it also serves as excellent preparation for PhD studies. You will explore mathematical models of real-world processes, with a strong emphasis on practical industrial applications, culminating in a 12-week summer project typically undertaken with a local business. This project, supported by the university's strong industry connections, offers practical insight into how mathematical theory is applied in organisational contexts. You will also work in groups on industry-based problems, covering topics such as dynamics, differential equations, and fluid mechanics.
