Location of Loughborough University
The programme provides graduates with strong mathematical skills, necessary computational techniques and finance background that are relevant to subsequent employment in a sector of finance such as investment banks, hedge funds, insurance companies and the finance departments of large corporations, where mathematics has played a key role in these industries.
The depth of the mathematics taught should enable graduates to pursue research careers in stochastic analysis, financial mathematics or other relevant areas. The period October to June is devoted to lectures, tutorials and practical sessions comprising the core and optional modules. This is followed by a period of about 14 weeks devoted to an individual project.
These programmes may lead to a wide range of employment within industry, the financial sectors, and research establishments. They also provide an ideal background for postgraduate research in Mathematical Finance.
