The MSc in Financial Mathematics is designed for students with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics or a related field, who wish to gain a competitive advantage in the financial sector by acquiring the strong mathematical and statistical background demanded by high-level quantitative roles. The proposed programme will equip students with the relevant contemporary knowledge and skills, including new digital innovations such as machine learning with financial applications, computational finance and statistical and data analysis. In the Summer Trimester students will explore their theoretical and applied knowledge in greater depth by completing a dissertation or they will be able to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world situations via a work placement with a financial firm.
In the Autumn and Spring Trimesters, you will take a mixture of face-to-face and online modules.
In the Summer Trimester, you will have the opportunity to apply for a summer work placement with a Dublin-based financial firm, or a dissertation supervised by a member of faculty.
Upon completion of the programme, you will be able to understand, critique and judge the suitability of a number of advanced financial mathematical models, manipulate, analyse and discern the reliability of financial data sets, and be acquainted with industry practice.
