• Students will benefit form the collaboration between engineering and Bayes Business school in the delivery of the programme.
• Study in world leading research facilities where different engineering solutions are designed, developed and implemented for industry today
• Take an optional placement year or placement over two summer periods to boost your employability, building on the strengths in research and their industrial collaborations across the Department of Engineering, where engineering and business skills are put into practice to make impact to meet the needs of industry today

This academically rigorous and practical program will give you a strong foundation in quantitative risk assessment and decision making under uncertain conditions, linked with classical engineering economics and financial engineering. Building on your undergraduate degree your MSc will give you many career opportunities.

The benefits of this course are wide and varied and will help progress your future career.

From analyzing indecision within games theory to rebuilding a country’s infrastructure, you’ll explore the drivers in which businesses operate, and the challenges and opportunities that project managers face.

Your learning will be complemented by invited lectures from experts across the industry who bring a diverse set of skills and the ability to solve complex problems.

Learn skills used for quantitative modelling positions, from structuring to pricing complex derivatives and fixed income securities on our Financial Mathematics master's course.

To successfully complete the Financial Mathematics postgraduate course, you must have a very good understanding of mathematics. You may well have studied maths, physics or engineering degrees as an undergraduate.

Or you might have a bachelor’s degree in economics or science and in particular computer science, which, coupled with your interest in stochastics, could also qualify you for this programme.

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

The master's in Financial Mathematics focuses on stochastics and simulation techniques, but also covers some econometrics. You’ll study core modules covering asset pricing, risk management and an introduction to key financial securities such as equities, fixed income and derivatives.

You’ll cover a wide range of elementary and advanced topics in stochastics, including Levy processes and different simulation techniques.

You’ll be taught Python during terms 1 and 2 and you have the opportunity to learn other programming languages as part of our electives offering, such as Matlab or VBA.

There are three ways to complete the third term. Either you’ll choose five electives from around 40 optional modules in your final term. Or you can choose to complete a traditional dissertation, known as a ‘business research project’, which counts for four electives, or a shorter ‘applied research project’, which is the equivalent of two elective modules.

The Engineering Systems course takes an interdisciplinary approach to complex systems and the analysis of interactions to enable the successful realization and use of engineered systems in industry and globally.

Over Three years, you will develop the professional engineering skills required, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to current and future problems in engineering systems.

Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate your expertise to future employers and helps you transition from study to professional practice.

• Students will be trained to understand and analyze the broader context in which the engineering system is used, integrating processes and information in a holistic way, dealing with the challenges of complex systems interactions
• Benefit from exceptional industry involvement in the degree programme, taking advantage of the London location of City, including undertaking projects set by industry and guest lectures from practising engineers
• Study in world leading research facilities where different engineering systems are designed, developed and implemented for industry today
• Take an optional placement year or placement over two summer periods to boost your employability, building on the strengths in research and their industrial collaborations across the Department of Engineering, where engineering systems thinking is put into practice to make impact to meet the needs of industry today

On this accredited degree, you’ll learn how to apply engineering to the healthcare industry. You’ll take part in interdisciplinary study with experts in maths, science, engineering and medical disciplines, to develop in-demand professional and technical skills.

Biomedical engineers develop innovative technologies for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of medical conditions. It is a growth area with applications in a range of industries. Our degrees are designed to prepare you for an exciting highly-skilled career in this rapidly growing field.

Our degrees are triple-accredited by professional bodies, meaning your qualification will be recognised for its quality and relevance. Furthermore, you will:

• Develop in-depth biomedical engineering expertise, alongside professional skills in management and communication
• Work with teams from prominent clinical institutions including St Bartholomew's Hospital and The Royal London Hospital
• Gain hands-on experience with high-tech equipment in our newly refurbished undergraduate and research labs
• Take an optional work placement to enhance your academic credentials, employability and professional expertise

Pass your second year and apply to transfer to our integrated MEng degree, which fast tracks your progress to Chartered Engineer status.

The International Business pathway should appeal particularly to you if you expect to work in multinational businesses. Or in other areas where contemporary issues affect the way business takes place globally. You should be prepared to consider the different impact of management concepts in different parts of the world and to apply these to practical examples.

This course gives you a broad understanding of business within an international context. As part of this degree you must spend some time at one of our overseas partners and use this experience to contribute to your understanding of management concepts.

You’ll be able to reflect on this international experience within your final-year project. You’ll discuss issues related to the global economy, and will be encouraged to consider the particular impact of management concepts in different parts of the world.

This degree provides the analytical skills, and theoretical and methodological tools that will help you address the key questions that are central to understanding politics today.

You will learn to look beyond borders to develop an international understanding of politics in today’s increasingly interconnected world, understanding the central issues and trends that characterise twenty-first century politics.

Why are some countries becoming democratic while democracy is failing in others? How is political power distributed in different societies around the world? How has globalisation reshaped state and market institutions in different countries?

• Develop strong analytical skills, learning how to compare political phenomena taking place in different countries to improve your knowledge of contemporary politics
• Broaden your regional and country-level expertise with a range of modules on the politics of emerging powers
• Secure a micro-placement and work on a research project of your interest at a politics related field such as an NGO, a think tank, the house of commons, a political risk consultancy, the civil service or public affairs lobbying
