Financial Computing

About this course

Financial computing sits at the junction of three disciplines that have become inseparable in modern financial markets: quantitative finance, computer science and mathematics. The field emerged from the recognition that pricing complex financial instruments, managing risk and executing trading strategies at scale all require substantial computational power and algorithmic sophistication. Financial computing professionals build the models and systems that underlie derivatives pricing, portfolio optimisation, risk management platforms and algorithmic trading infrastructure. It is a technically demanding discipline with substantial intellectual depth. At the University of Liverpool, you will study this programme over three years full time, and the structure includes a year abroad, giving you exposure to financial computing and quantitative finance in an international academic context.
