Overview

What will you study?

During the Financial Mathematics program at Middlesex University you’ll develop an advanced understanding of the concepts and techniques of financial mathematics and statistics, and of how financial data is analysed. You’ll also study the workings of a range of financial instruments: bonds, equities, futures and options, and their role and importance in financial institutions.

You’ll appreciate that quantifying the value, and the risk, in these assets can be highly technical: you’ll study theories and methods for pricing a wide variety of assets, and building and optimising investment portfolios. You’ll understand and apply a range of methods for measuring and managing risk to make better financial decisions.

You will be helped to develop the ability to critically interpret and evaluate real-life financial data using a variety of software packages, including the professional standard Bloomberg Terminal, and advanced analysis using programming languages.
