About

Overview

Quantitative Finance MSc Who is it for?

Would you like to learn about forecasting returns, financial prices or volatility? Choose the MSc in Quantitative Finance if you are fascinated by quantitative aspects and how they are used in financial markets, even if you don’t have a background in finance.

In the MSc Quantitative Finance, you will focus on the tools that allow you to analyse the relevant information for making investment decisions and strategize the best response to market changes. This will open the door to a career for example in asset management, or as a quantitative financial analyst.

Consequently, emphasis is given to explore econometrics and forecasting models. You will also acquire a sound knowledge of asset pricing, risk management, stochastic modelling and key financial securities such as equities, fixed income products and derivatives. Finally, you will master advance programming skills in Python and Matlab.

"The Quantitative Finance programme at Bayes Business School offered an equal blend of the theoretical and the practical part, which was the right balance for me to fuel my knowledge. The MSc has provided me with a critical understanding of the world of Quantitative Finance and aided me to develop my technical and soft skills, such as identifying, forecasting and managing risk and discovering the importance and the thought-provoking nature of the financial industry."
