Financial Mathematics with Foundation Year

About this course

Financial mathematics is the application of rigorous mathematical methods to the problems of modern finance, building the quantitative frameworks that underpin pricing, risk management and investment decisions across banking, insurance and financial markets.

At Surrey, this four-year programme includes a foundation year, providing an extended route into the degree for students who need to build or consolidate the mathematical foundations needed for degree-level study in this technically demanding field. The foundation year develops your mathematical skills and your understanding of the quanti
