This course is jointly run with the Department of Mathematics and the Alliance Manchester Business School at The University of Manchester.
The MSc in Mathematical Finance combines the academic strength and practical expertise of the Department of Mathematics and the Alliance Manchester Business School to provide you with both a mathematical and economic perspective.
The finance industry demands graduates with strong quantitative skills, and the course prepares students for careers in this area.
Delivered from a genuinely international and multi-cultural perspective, this course will provide you with advanced knowledge and understanding of the main theoretical and applied concepts in Mathematical Finance.
You will focus on mathematical theory and modelling, drawing from the disciplines of probability theory, scientific computing and partial differential equations to derive relations between asset prices and interest rates, and to develop models for pricing, risk management and financial product development.
Whether pursuing a career in industry or further research, graduates leave with the expertise to drive innovation and excellence in this field.
