Mathematical Finance

The University of Oxford offers part-time, full-time and short courses in Mathematical Finance.

Part-time MSc in Mathematical Finance

The MSc in Mathematical Finance programme is aimed at students with several years' professional work experience in a financial institution.  It is structured to be accessible to those in full-time employment, and to those not resident in the UK.  The majority of students on the programme live overseas and travel to Oxford for taught 'modules'. 

Each module is four to five days long, covering the most important technical and quantitative aspects of finance in regular use in financial institutions, from fundamental concepts through to the latest developments.

The MSc starts in January each year, and is designed to take just over two years.   Depending on their Advanced Module choices, which must total three, students take five to six modules  in the first year, and take one or two modules and write their Dissertation in the second year.

 

Short Courses in Mathematical Finance

Each of the advanced modules of the MSc in Mathematical Finance is available as a stand-alone four-day short course. 

 

Full-time MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finance

This course is full-time, and students will be present in Oxford for the duration of the course (approximately 10 months from end September-July).  The majority of students are recent graduates seeking to gain the expertise to develop a career in the financial sector.
