We offer research supervision for our MSD Computational Finance in the following fields:
- agent-based modelling of financial markets
- computational risk management
- high-frequency finance
- the use of computational-intelligence methods for investment decision making
We provide a vibrant research environment so our MSD students publish papers in prestigious international conferences and often attract the attention of industry and government; one of our PhD students was recently invited to present their research on term structure models to the Bank of England and many others get the opportunity to directly apply their research through internships at investment banks and hedge funds.
Our graduates have gone on to become quantitative analysts, portfolio managers, and software engineers at various institutions, including major investment banks like HSBC and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities.
You can study this degree either full-time or part-time. We also offer a PhD and MPhil in this area.
