University of Strathclyde - MSc in Quantitative Finance

The course is an innovative cross-faculty alliance between Strathclyde Business School and the Faculty of Science. It's been designed for those with a strong aptitude for mathematics, statistics and computing who haven't studied these topics in detail in their undergraduate degree. The course allows students with different degree backgrounds to learn the necessary quantitative skills to move into the financial industry. No specific knowledge of finance as an academic subject is assumed at the outset of the course, but it will build on your knowledge of related areas and by the end of the course you will be well equipped to embark on careers in finance, especially those with a quantitative emphasis.

The programme will prepare you for a career in financial engineering and risk management in varied roles, for example as a hedge fund manager or financial analyst.
