Financial mathematics builds on the application of advanced concepts in modern probability theory to enable market professionals to tackle and systematically resolve a huge range of issues in the areas of pricing, hedging, risk management, and market regulation.

On this course you’ll put theory into practice by developing your numerical and computational skills to implement financial models. These are the skills you’ll need to work for a financial institution.

The course has an emphasis on:

the modelling of the dynamics of financial assets, both in equity markets and in fixed-income markets

the pricing and hedging of options and other derivatives

the quantification and management of financial risk.

The course will give you a balanced mixture of advanced mathematics (including modern probability theory and stochastic calculus), modern finance theory (including models for derivatives, interest rates, foreign exchange, equities, commodities, and credit), and computational techniques.

The teaching team includes:

Dr Elena Boguslavskaya, Professor Paresh Date, Dr Jiawei Lim, Dr Cormac Lucas, Dr Ben Parker, Professor Simon Shaw, Professor Keming Yu.
