Course summary

Our financial mathematics degree provides an ideal platform if you are interested in pursuing a career in the financial sector.

Step into the exciting and fast-paced world of modern finance, where data, technology, and global markets combine to shape everyday decisions and future opportunities. In this dynamic environment, organisations need professionals who can interpret complex information, understand uncertainty, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Mathematics lies at the heart of this world. It underpins how we model risk, price financial assets, optimise investment strategies, and understand market behaviour. From predicting trends to managing uncertainty, mathematical thinking is essential to navigating today’s financial landscape.

On this programme, you will develop a powerful combination of analytical, computational, and data-driven skills. You’ll learn to interpret financial data, build and apply mathematical models, draw meaningful conclusions, and support effective decision-making. By combining theory with real-world applications, you’ll graduate ready to tackle complex financial challenges and pursue careers across banking, investment, risk management, FinTech, and beyond.

Our degrees are designed to help students progress into rewarding careers. Follow in the footsteps of our graduates who have exciting jobs in organisations including Astra Zeneca, The Met Office, Google, PWC and more.

Our degrees are recognised for their excellent student satisfaction and employment outcomes. By studying with us, you will join our close-knit mathematical community and be taught by our supportive and award-winning staff who wish to see you succeed.

This degree is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the UK's chartered professional body for mathematicians, so with further experience, you could achieve Chartered Mathematician status.

We welcome applications from disabled students and those with long-term health conditions. We encourage you to contact the Programme Team/admissions as early as possible so we can discuss your individual needs and explore reasonable adjustments.
