One of the unique features of MSMF at Warwick is that it is taught as a collaborative effort by three world-leading departments, giving the students unique access to the experts in relevant areas of this multifaceted masters programme: Statistics with its world-leading groups in Stochastic Finance and Computational Statistics, Warwick Business School, and Mathematics.
Structure of the course: four pillars representing the areas of expertise required for our students' future employment and three stages of development: “foundations” (prerequisite skills in the core areas), “specialisation” (bundles of electives to match interest and career destination), and finally "application" of acquired skills and knowledge (dissertation):
- The three stages broadly follow the three academic terms:
- Term 1 (Autumn): lays down the foundational skills in the “4 Pillars”
- Term 2 (Spring): provides specialisation and “pathway”-specific skills
- Term 3 (Summer): assurance of learning by applying skills to your dissertation
- A “Backbone” (spanning all terms) develops Programming / Data skills
- The 4 “Pillars” correspond to the core modules in Term 1 and Term 2 (see Course Structure for details):
- Financial Statistics
- Financial Mathematics
- Asset Pricing and Risk
- Simulation and Machine Learning for Finance
Generous scholarship programme: many students in the MSc in Financial Mathematics have in the last few years received scholarships worth between 25% to 50% of the fee. See the Fees and Funding section for more details.
