Modules

All students follow a common programme of compulsory study for the first year. You will focus on core modules that provide a solid foundation in the main mathematical topics. 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. The focus will be on the application of maths to a variety of practical, open-ended problems. These are examples that mathematicians would typically face in the workplace. It provides a good opportunity to develop skills and techniques in model development, report writing and teamwork. These are all valuable skills for your future career. Optional maths and finance modules during the rest of the year enable you to tailor the degree to your specific areas of interest.
