Aim
The program is designed to produce graduates well equipped to work as professional mathematicians and/or statisticians, who are also familiar with the problems, terminology and concepts of application areas within Quantitative Finance. This program has arisen from the evident need for a structured program providing a planned and integrated balance between mathematics, statistics, computing, insurance and finance area applications.
Content & Structure
This is a three-year program over which 108 units must be completed. It contains a total of 11 9 Mathematics or Statistics courses, 5 courses in common with other degree programs offered by the School of Commerce, 2 courses in Communication or Computing, 5 6 courses in specialised Finance applications, one mathematical elective and 1 free elective. The purpose of the elective is to allow specialisation in career areas of interest, at the choice of individual students, such as Statistics, Operations Research, Marketing or other cognate areas.
