Program Description

In the first year, the BSc (Hons) Financial Mathematics and BSc (Hons) Mathematics courses are exactly the same. So, if you change your mind and want to change, that’s easily done. Your second year is where you start specialising in financial mathematics if you choose this pathway.  In your first year, you’ll learn all the foundations and basics that you need to know. We are aware that our students come from different schools and have followed different programmes. The first year is about making sure that everybody is on the same page. You’ll study linear algebra, basic statistics, and computational modelling. You’ll learn about numbers and sets, the applications of mathematics and financial maths. You’ll also take the first ‘mathematical techniques’ model to set you up with a strong foundation for your second and third year.  
 In your second year, you’ll take the second module on mathematical techniques. You’ll also work on differential equations, take a module in career planning and development and attend small group tutorials. You’ll study programming, financial markets and portfolio theory. You’ll learn how to analyse portfolios of securities and financial data. In the second half of the module you’ll learn more theories that underlie the financial markets. This year there are also some optional modules for you to choose from. These include algebra, number theory and real analysis. Want to go into teaching? You can even take a module in professional teaching skills to prepare you for a career in education.  Work placement/study abroad option: Between your second and final year, you’ll have the option to study abroad or do a work placement for up to a year. Not only will this give you an amazing experience to talk about but will also give your CV a boost. If you’d rather go straight to your final year, that’s absolutely fine too. In your final year, you’ll study non-linear optimisation, derivative pricing and investigations in financial mathematics. Most other modules are optional this year, so you can do what you like best. Modules include linear modelling, combinatorics, and advanced levels of algebra and numerical methods. You can even choose to study space dynamics in our labs. Think about atmospheric drag, spacecraft spin and transfer orbits. This year really allows you to home in on your favourite areas of mathematics. There is also a strong focus on employability and finding a fitting job for when you leave us.
