Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering

at City, University of London United Kingdom

Learn technical and practical skills useful in pursuing a career in front or middle office positions.

To successfully complete this Mathematical Trading and Finance master’s course, you must have a good understanding of mathematics.

You may well have studied finance, economics, engineering or maths or physics as an undergraduate. Or you might have a bachelor’s degree in a science subject, in particular computer science.

You should have a general interest in mathematics and statistics.

You should have a general interest in learning the more quantitative and mathematical techniques used in financial markets, but you don’t need to have a background in finance.

The difference between the MSc Mathematical Trading and Finance to the other two quants courses (MSc Financial Mathematics and MSc Quantitative Finance) are core modules which focus on quantitative trading and structuring.

You’ll study core modules which focus on the theory of finance and different financial assets. You will look at how these assets are priced and used for asset management or risk management purposes.

The second type of core modules cover the mathematical and statistical aspects needed in quantitative finance, including some stochastics. This also includes learning some programming languages, mainly Python, but Matlab and VBA modules are being offered as electives.

Finally, Term three offers you flexibility within your masters; either by writing a dissertation or undertaking a project. You can complete your postgraduate degree entirely choosing electives.

Fast-moving, skilful and critical to the success of any organisation, marketers understand consumers and create offers that entice them. This Marketing Strategy and Innovation course gives you a head-start.

Some people equate marketing with advertising. Not you. You know that marketing is a multi-faceted business process involving creativity and innovation alongside analytical and strategic skills.

The MSc in Marketing Strategy and Innovation postgraduate programme gives you a sound understanding of the principles and state-of-the art practices of marketing.

You will acquire the latest knowledge on market research, customer analysis, innovation and design, brand management, advertising, digital and social media marketing, fashion brand management, storytelling, sponsoring, and many other current marketing topics.

Your lecturers bring these topics to life through interactive classes, case discussions, lectures with leading marketers, and hands-on innovation and communication tasks. You will, for example:

• Work with a London start-up company on a marketing plan for the introduction of a new product to the UK market
• Develop your own business idea, business model, and communication strategy and pitch it to a jury of London marketers and investors

You will learn how people and institutions make decisions under conditions of constraint, such as time and knowledge, and under various influences such as social pressure. There are many practical implications of insights from behavioural economics and the field is widely accepted to deliver a powerful, cost-effective approach to improving human welfare.

Commercial organisations have long known the limitations of individual decision making and routinely use this knowledge in their commercial practices.

A strong postgraduate education in behavioural economics will allow you to work in a variety of roles in the private or public sector that require a solid understanding of human behaviour.

A developed understanding of behavioural economics gives you a broad, real-world perspective to inform your professional interests and future ambitions.

Our programme is also an ideal pathway to a PhD in Economics or Psychology.

Who is this course for?

If you have recently graduated in economics, psychology, a related social science or quantitative discipline, this programme could be the next step. We will help you develop the relevant modern skills and knowledge needed for a career in the world of behavioural economics.
