Dissertation
I was given freedom to take the project where I wanted, which allowed me to incorporate the areas of the course that I found most interesting.

An individual, practical, technical project will form the basis of your 10,000 word dissertation. This gives you the opportunity to develop, test, practise, and apply the techniques and theories you have gained through your studies. You will be supervised and supported throughout by one of our academic staff.
Some of our students undertake this as a sponsored piece of work for an external organisation. Through careful matching of students' strengths to sponsors' requirements we are usually able to partner about a third of our students to client projects. Sponsors have included:
- Barclays Global Investors
- BP
- CDO2 Limited
- Denholm Hall
- Duff & Phelps
- F&C Investments
- LDFM
- Lloyds TSB
- Numerical Algorithms Group
- Paternoster.
Many of our students prefer to undertake research under the supervision of a faculty member from one of the four departments. This gives them the opportunity to really hone and practise their technical skills.
