- 7th in the UK for graduate prospects in Accounting and Finance (The Complete University Guide 2020)
If you want to explore the strong relationship between mathematics and financial analysis, this course is for you.
You’ll learn from experts in both disciplines. You’ll gain a thorough grounding in the theories and techniques that underlie modern mathematics and finance. The use of industry-standard software (such as MATLAB, Python and R) develops your analytical and modelling skills. You’ll graduate with the specialist knowledge crucial for success in today’s financial industry.
You’ll be guided throughout your degree by an academic adviser. We’ll support your career development with opportunities to engage with potential employers, while you gain the confidence and competence they’re looking for.
During your integrated Masters year, you’ll develop new skills in both subjects and apply them to an advanced research project. This is particularly relevant if you’re interested in going on to a research career at universities or in industry.
Accreditation
This degree is accredited to meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, we may need to make changes due to significant disruption, for example in response to COVID-19.
