2. Welcome

Welcome message from the Course Director

I would like to welcome you to the Mathematical Institute as a student on the M.Sc. in Mathematical and Computational Finance (MCF). Congratulations on securing a place on the course, which is very competitive.

The course will comprise an intense year of taught courses covering mathematical, computational and data- oriented finance, assessed by written and practical examinations, and culminating in a dissertation. In addition, we hope to stage a few practitioner events where prospective employers will be able to introduce you to opportunities in the finance industry following your degree.

The M.Sc. is run in the Mathematical and Computational Finance Group (MCFG), one of the strongest Mathematical Finance research groups in the world, and you will have the opportunity to be taught by and work with internationally renowned mathematicians. You will be part of a cohort of highly motivated and enthusiastic students, and I hope that you will enjoy the course and make the most of the opportunities it offers.

Good luck!
Prof. Justin Sirignano
