Location of University of Essex
The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).
Our MSc Computational Finance equips you with the core concepts and mathematical principles of modern quantitative finance, plus the operational skills to use computational packages (mainly Matlab) for financial modelling.
In addition to traditional topics in derivatives and asset pricing, we place a special emphasis on risk management in non-Gaussian environment with extreme events. You have the opportunity to study methods of non-linear and evolutionary computational methods for derivatives pricing and portfolio management. You also graduate with an understanding of the use of artificial financial market environments for stress testing, and the design of auctions and other financial contracts.
