You'll be introduced to some of the main topics across financial mathematics covering accountancy and risk too. Using computer software and statistical methods will provide hands-on practical experience. During the second year most of the year is devoted to maths, with the remainder focused on financial topics. Your time will be split between core and optional modules. The compulsory Mathematics Group Project module in the third year gives you the chance to work on specific projects tackled through workshops and student-led group activities.
