Overview

Financial Mathematics is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Mathematics splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
