Our postgraduate Financial and Computational Mathematics programme equips graduates with the skills necessary to pursue a successful career in quantitative finance. Modern financial technology is based upon sophisticated computational techniques for the modelling of asset and market movements, and the valuation of financial derivatives. This course provides a solid grounding in computational finance along with machine learning techniques and includes a team-based research project with opportunities to work with our industry partners.
