A challenging combination of rigorous academic study and practical career-oriented skills, this course is ideal for students wanting both knowledge of the main theoretical and applied concepts of finance and the mathematical methods needed to value innovative financial instruments.
The MSc Mathematical Finance is designed to produce well-rounded graduates equally suited to life in the financial world or in academia. It is particularly relevant to people working in, or planning to specialise in, derivative securities, investment, risk management or hedge funds, while also providing the necessary skills for subsequent doctoral work
School of Mathematics and Manchester Business School work together to give you advanced knowledge and understanding of finance at a mathematical level. Using current issues as a stimulus to teaching and learning, the course is delivered through lectures, case studies, seminars and group project-based work.
You gain an international perspective from working alongside staff and students from many different countries, and also have the opportunity to network through the School's alumni group
