The BSc Mathematics for Finance (with a Year in Industry) degree course gives students the opportunity to focus on the mathematical foundations of finance in addition to the general range of mathematical material covered.

You will explore and understand the number theory that Pythagoras studied, the Financial Mathematics that the highest flyers on Wall Street rely on, and a wealth of other topics reflecting the teaching team’s research expertise in probability, analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations, noncommutative geometry and algebraic topology.

Subject to application, you will take your placement after the 2nd year of your studies, providing you with the opportunity to put your learning into practice. During the 2nd year you will receive support from our placements team to help you prepare and make every effort to secure a placement relevant to your studies.
