BAY CAMPUS MATHEMATICS
Our Mathematics department is expanding and is now housed in the new Computational Foundry building. This £32.5 million world-class facility provides the most up-to-date and high-quality teaching and research facilities, as well as networking and inspiration space. The Foundry is a place where industry partners can work with us, test new ideas and allow our students and researchers to work on real-world problems. We place a strong emphasis on developing graduate employability, and our graduates have been employed by a wide range of organisations including: AXA, BA, Deutsche Bank, Shell Research, health authorities, Zurich Financial Services, and local government.
MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTING FOR FINANCE MSc FT PT The MSc Mathematics and Computing for Finance course has been designed to meet the growing demand for specially trained mathematicians to work in the world’s financial markets and insurance. On the course you will study different elements of mathematics, finance and computing in addition to developing your communication and presentation skills through a project you will undertake. You will be fully supported to ensure that your project is best suited to support your future career plans. Modules typically include: • Black-Scholes Theory • Differential Equations • Financial Mathematics • Fourier Analysis • Itô Calculus and Stochastic Differential Equations • Numerics of ODEs and PDEs • Numerical Analysis • Partial Differential Equations • Probability Theory
MATHEMATICS MSc FT PT The MSc Mathematics course has been designed for students who wish to build on their BSc, extending their range of mathematics expertise across a broader spread of topics, and demonstrating their literature research skills through an extended dissertation. Such a qualification will mark graduates out as having a broader and deeper understanding of mathematics, and the skills required to pursue a significant project with a high level of independence, presenting their results in a written report. This will give MSc Mathematics graduates an edge in the ever more competitive jobs market. Modules typically include: • Analytical Dynamics • Applied Algebra: Coding Theory • Biomathematics
