The MSc in Mathematics and Finance can be taken on a part-time basis. Students attend the same lectures as those taking the degree full-time. The courses are spread more or less evenly over two years, instead of one, and the project is taken in the second year.  There is a need to attend lectures on about three days a week. Considerable flexibility is needed by those in full-time employment who pursue this option. A typical sample schedule would look like this:

Year 1

  • Autumn Term

    • Stochastic Processes
    • Mathematical Finance: Introduction to Option Pricing Theory
    • Computing in C++ I: Programming in C
    • Theory of Finance

  • Spring Term

    • Advanced Methods in Derivatives Pricing
    • Interest Rate Modelling
    • Programming in C++ II: Object oriented programming
    • Electives, from the list of Elective Modules
