Masters Degrees in Stochastic Processes

The MRes in Stochastic Processes. Theory and Application is delivered through optional modules for the taught element followed by a large research project that contributes to the field in an explicit way, rather than merely applying existing knowledge.

The MSc Mathematics and Computing for Finance course has been designed to meet the growing demand for specially trained mathematicians to work in the world’s financial markets and insurance.

The programme draws on LSE's strengths in finance and related areas to provide high-level instruction in the mathematical theory underlying finance, and training in appropriate computational methods.

As an MSc by Research in Mathematics student you will be guided by internationally leading researchers and will carry out a large individual research project.

The focus of this course is using mathematics to solve real world problems, such as in finance, energy, engineering or scientific research.

Do you have an aptitude and passion for mathematics and statistics, a keen interest in finance and insurance and want to work for a major financial organisation in finance, insurance or the money market? This course will provide you with a deep understanding of the world of finance,and give you the ability to speak its 'language'.

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

The focus of this course is using mathematics to solve biological and biomedical problems. Graduates from this course are well placed to make significant contributions to the rapidly expanding healthcare sector and major societal challenges including global sustainability.

Scientific computing is a new and growing discipline in its own right. It is concerned with harnessing the power of modern computers to carry out calculations relevant to science and engineering.

The Master in Actuarial Science at ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics and Management, was designed according to the international requirements for the actuarial profession.

The financial services industry place great emphasis on raising the level of mathematics used in banks in applications to pricing, hedging and risk management.

Our MPhil/PhD degree in Mathematics and Statistics aims to train you to conduct research of a high academic standard and to make original contributions to the subject.

The financial sector is increasingly using sophisticated mathematical models to predict the development of markets and risks related to the services and products it provides. Banks, building societies, accountancy, insurance, investment and pension companies demand graduates with strong quantitative skills.

This MSc programme is run by Heriot-Watt University jointly with The University of Edinburgh. Upon graduation, you will receive a degree certificate bearing crests of both universities.

This is one of the few dedicated Applied Mathematics MSc programmes in the UK. For over 40 years Heriot-Watt has been exceptionally strong in Applied Mathematics and we have world-leading researchers in many related areas and very good links with industry.
