Financial Computing with a Year in Industry

About this course

Financial computing is a discipline that applies the methods of computer science and mathematics to the analysis and modelling of financial markets, instruments, and systems. Where finance provides the conceptual frameworks for understanding investment, risk, and value, and computing provides the algorithmic and programming tools for implementing and scaling those frameworks, financial computing brings them together to address the practical challenges of modern financial engineering: building pricing models, analysing large datasets, developing trading systems, and managing risk in real time. It is a field that is highly technical and in strong demand. At the University of Liverpool, this four-year full-time programme includes a year in industry, giving you an extended period of professional experience working in a financial technology firm, investment bank, insurance company, or other
