Course Overview

The MSc Mathematics and Financial Modelling offers you the opportunity to increase your knowledge and abilities in pure, applied, and financial mathematics. A wide choice of modules allows you to study several different topics in depth and to focus on the areas that interest you most.

You will learn key mathematical research skills and methods, including how to conduct a literature search, how to read mathematical papers, and how to communicate your ideas and findings, both in writing and orally. The course includes a dissertation that allows you to engage in a sustained investigation of an area that interests you within statistics and/or finance, implementing what you have learned from the taught modules on the course and combining this knowledge with new research and analysis.

You will also acquire the skills to pursue your interests in mathematics and financial modeling to a higher level and beyond the classroom, whether for a formal MPhil/Ph.D. research degree, for your career, or simply because you have a passion for the subject.

Graduates can pursue career paths in the financial sector, the actuarial profession, IT and computing, teaching, and academia. Possible professions include:

  • actuary

  • statistician

  • chartered accountant

  • corporate investment banker

  • investment analyst

  • quantity surveyor.
