Overview

The main objective of the Financial Engineering program from Bogazici University is to provide graduate level technical education to students who want to work in the new and growing finance industry. This includes investment banks and corporations, financial management and consulting companies, insurance companies and firms that invest in financial markets.

What you'll learn

Students will be exposed to a technically rigorous curriculum that provides a strong base in optimization techniques and stochastic modeling. The main emphasis is on the application of these techniques and models in financial markets through computational methods and simulation. Due to the apparent diversity of the educational program, it has an interdisciplinary structure that involves the three main schools of the university.

Degree requirements

Students who have successfully completed the requirements of the FE program will receive an MS degree. The graduation requirement is to complete 31 credits of course work consisting of 9 required, 2 elective courses and a graduation project. This can be accomplished in 3 semesters under normal circumstances.

The graduation project requires teamwork by groups of 2-4 students on an applied topic under the supervision of a faculty member for 2 semesters. Those applicants who do not have the necessary background to follow the academic program may be required to take additional remedial courses. This background mainly consists of undergraduate level probability and statistics, linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, computer programming, basic economics and corporate finance.
