The Programme covers the fundamental knowledge in financial engineering, which is a highly specialised and rapidly growing area. You will be able to explore the computational skills as well as the underlying mathematical and statistical theory to prepare for a career on the computational end of quantitative finance. The program is both technical and pragmatic. In Mathematical Finance, you will first learn to examine the financial derivatives using a continuous-time approach, then analyse a range of discrete time financial models and investment models. In the 3rd week of the program, you will start the econometric modelling of financial time series. You will learn various methods of fitting linear and non-linear models to time series data, statistical validation and their use such as forecasting and simulation using the statistical package R.
Target group
The Programme is ideal for students based overseas who would like to experience studying abroad and also gain a valuable insight into the fascinating yet challenging field of quantitative finance.
Course aim
On completion of the programme you will have been given an opportunity to:
- Demonstrate strong analytical skills in the mathematical finance
- Demonstrate knowledge of theoretical and empirical methods involved in analysing real-world data
- Evaluate differences in types of models, and demonstrate an understanding of the power and limitations of applied statistical analysis
- Gain hands-on experience in using computing programs
