MSci Mathematics with Finance
About this course
MSci in Mathematics with Finance, a mathematics and economics degree centred on quantitative techniques applied to financial systems. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, and Financial Analysis. Taught jointly by the mathematics department and the business school, the course includes an option to complete a professional placement year in an industry setting. The first year covers core grounding through Introduction to Finance, Economics I, Economics II, and Foundations. The second year progresses through Microeconomics II, Financial Markets and Decisions I, and Differential Equations, alongside optional modules such as Real Analysis and Linear Algebra. Third-year studies feature Financial Markets and Decisions 2 and Research in Mathematical Sciences, with further choices spanning Number Theory, Cryptography, and Fluid Dynamics. Optional modules allow students to explore diverse areas, and a final-year project forms part of the advanced stage.
