Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Challenge yourself with a high-level mix of mathematic and finance disciplines
This mathematically rigorous course is unique in providing training from three top departments at Warwick: Statistics, Mathematics and Warwick Business School. It enables you to develop and apply the quantitative skills in machine learning, computational statistics and mathematical finance used in the financial markets and the finance industry.
Build on your strong mathematical background to gain both a deep theoretical and conceptual knowledge of finance, together with the requisite high-level probability, statistics and mathematics, to enable you to undertake advanced quantitative modelling. Lab work will give you hands-on experience of using software packages for simulations and time series analysis, as well as learning programming for quantitative finance in three core languages: Python, C++ and R.
Our departments benefit from excellent links to key financial institutions and employers, and this course has benefited from industry recommendations.
Please note that this course was previously named MSc Financial Mathematics.
Our MSc Mathematical Finance is a highly specialised and technical programme. To succeed on this course, you will need strong ability in Mathematics and Finance, and some experience in Statistics or Econometrics, evidenced by a high 2.1 or first in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or another relevant quantitatively-focused undergraduate degree. A clear emphasis in your choice of undergraduate electives on the aforementioned areas will strengthen your application.
When assessing your academic record, we take into account your grade average, and the position of the institution where you studied your qualification.
You must have, or be expecting to obtain, at least a high 2.1 degree at Undergraduate level from a UK university, or overseas equivalent from a top-performing University.
While you will, throughout the course, develop all necessary advanced skills, confident foundations in mathematics (in particular sound knowledge of Probability Theory, Linear Algebra and Differential Calculus) are necessary to build on.
Given the fast pace of the course, it is strongly recommended that you undertake preliminary reading before the start of the course if you have little or no background in areas such as Measure-Theoretic Probability, Statistics, and Financial Economics. Before you join the course, we will make reading recommendations and other materials available via our dedicated pre-arrival pages.
