Master’s Programme in Mathematical Finance

Mathematical Finance deals with the modelling and analysis of financial markets and financial instruments using sound mathematical and economics approaches. By applying mathematical methods to economics questions, the risks and opportunities presented by securities, companies, currencies or competition can be more easily assessed.
