Financial & Computational Mathematics

About

Employers in the banking and investment sector require graduates with an understanding of the relevant mathematical concepts as well as the practical and computational skills associated with applying them. This course provides both, and is an opportunity for graduates, especially those with a background in the mathematical sciences, physics, or engineering, to develop high-level skills in computational finance, machine learning, and mathematical finance.

UCC itself enjoys proximity to financial employers in Ireland (for example the International Finances Services Centre [IFSC] in Dublin) and in other European financial centres, including London.
