If you are interested in quantitative financial and economic research, then the Quantitative Finance honours track is the programme for you. It will lead you to a deeper understanding of finance.
The Quantitative Finance honours track is a prestigious programme within the Finance Master's. You will tackle issues in the field of risk management and the development of complex financial products. To build a successful career in this area, you need a solid basis of mathematical insight in order to understand risks in existing products and to design new, structured products to cater to a client's risk preferences. Without a thorough knowledge of the issues at hand, the consequences can be disastrous, as we have seen repeatedly in the past. The career prospects for the graduates of the Master's programme in Quantitative Finance are excellent. There is an ever-growing demand for people who can provide solid quantitative analyses of financial and economic issues. Expertise like this is in short supply worldwide. Examples of jobs within your reach upon completion of your Master's include derivates specialist, hedge fund manager, asset/liability manager, financial consultant, risk manager, investment banker and financial product developer. Postgraduate programmes are also available if you are interested in delving deeper into a specific area.
