The programme is well supported by the staff at the School, and draws on specialisations within the School in areas of finance, mathematics, statistics and actuarial science. The School has a high research reputation and many members of staff are professionally qualified, with practitioner experience. The quantitative, actuarial and finance expertise within the Department is well positioned to respond to the new developments in the interface between finance and insurance. The strength of this interface is shown by the emergence of new financial and insurance products, mergers across industries and the use of modern financial mathematics in insurance and risk. The School maintains a close relationship with the insurance industry and will develop its links further with the financial sector.
The School provides short courses for industry as part of Continuous Professional Development for practitioners.
Under the guidance of internationally renowned researchers in the School, postgraduates in MSc in Finance, Investment and Risk develop analytic, communication and research skills, and will be well prepared, should they wish to follow a research path in areas of finance, investment or risk.
