Finance and Mathematics with a Year in Business

About this course

Finance and mathematics is a combination that places quantitative rigour at the centre of the study of financial markets, institutions, and decision-making. Mathematics provides the logical foundations: analysis, probability, statistics, and optimisation, all of which are indispensable tools in modern finance. Finance applies those tools to questions about how capital is allocated, how risk is measured and managed, how asset prices are formed, and how financial institutions operate within the broader economy. The combination produces graduates who are genuinely fluent in the language of quantitative finance, which is increasingly what employers in the financial sector are looking for. The four-year full-time Finance and Mathematics with a Year in Business programme at Royal Holloway, University of London is taught by internationally recognised experts in both economics and mathematics.
