Master of Financial Mathematics

This is a one year full–time masters degree in quantitative finance and financial instruments with both mathematical emphasis (formulation and testing of models) and computational emphasis (implementation of models).

Leading banks and financial institutions around the world require experts who can apply analytical and numerical techniques to price financial derivatives and manage portfolio risks. The present proposal is designed to provide a degree to meet the demands of those students who already have an appropriate undergraduate degree in mathematics, engineering, science, business, economics, or finance and wish to pursue a high-tech career in the financial sector.

Students will attain practical skills needed to be leaders in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of the models used by the financial sector to structure transactions, manage risk and construct investment strategies. This is essential to prepare them for a career in today’s sophisticated financial markets.

All graduates of this program will satisfy the education requirements for Senior Associate membership of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia. (Senior Associate membership has a requirement for three years practical experience as well as the educational requirement).
