Mathematics plays a crucial role in the financial services industry. Loughborough University's Financial Mathematics Bachelor of Science (Honours) program prepares students for a rewarding career in banking and finance with essential knowledge of financial matters and the underpinning mathematics. For students who wish to gain the skills and knowledge for a career in banking, finance, accounting or economics, the Financial Mathematics program provides thorough training in aspects of both financial matters and the relevant mathematics. There are a range of modules in economics, finance and mathematics, including specialist modules that deal directly with the applications of mathematics in finance.
Through a comprehensive course that includes modules in probability theory, stochastic processes, statistical modelling, corporate finance, and asset pricing, the Financial Mathematics program will equip students with an understanding of methodologies and techniques that are essential for jobs in banking and finance. No prior knowledge of economics or finance is necessary as the course provides a comprehensive introduction to macro- and microeconomics and the principles of finance.
