MSc Financial Mathematics

A challenging high-level mix of disciplines taught by some of the University of Warwick's top departments to prepare you for a career in quantitative finance.

This is the course for you if you already have a strong background in mathematics, and enjoy the mental challenge. You are likely to want a career using sophisticated technical financial tools within financial engineering, risk management, and the most highly quantitative roles.

It's no wonder that we consistently attract students of the highest quality, and are often regarded as the prime UK masters course in Financial Mathematics.

You must have a strong background in mathematics from your undergraduate studies to apply.

The degree of choice for aspiring quants

I wanted to become an expert in my field and I never had any doubts that WBS was the right choice. Its reputation in both finance and mathematics is superb. It's a school with a vision and you can feel the motivation as you walk in the door.

The thing that really impressed me was a teaching style based on enthusiasm. You can't help feeling inspired by a lecturer who's really keen on their subject!

Everyone was focused but, while the work was intensive, fellow students always found the time to be social. There was also a very friendly and personal support network in place and, if you make the most of all the career guidance and presentations on offer, I think success is guaranteed.
