Finance and Mathematics

About this course

Finance and mathematics is a degree for those who want to understand the quantitative foundations that underpin modern financial markets and institutions. Finance as an academic discipline draws on economics, accounting, and decision theory to study how capital is allocated, how assets are priced, and how risk is managed. Mathematics provides the rigorous tools, including probability theory, calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and numerical methods, through which the most powerful financial models are built and understood. The two disciplines reinforce each other: the mathematical training gives you the analytical depth to go beyond surface-level financial knowledge, while the finance context gives the mathematics genuine application and purpose. At the University of Essex you will study this three-year full-time degree, with a typical entry tariff of 88 points. Across the programme y
