Financial Mathematics BSc (Hons) — Program Overview
The Financial Mathematics BSc (Hons) at the University of Greenwich provides a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, introducing you to the role of analytics in the modern business world. Throughout the course, you develop knowledge of financial analytics including asset price modelling, the risk-neutral pricing of financial derivatives, actuarial mathematics, and financial time series.
The program starts with core mathematics and statistics used daily in the financial industry, then advances into specialised financial mathematics topics. You will learn how to model financial markets, assess risks, and make data-driven decisions using quantitative methods, probability, and calculus alongside specialised topics such as derivatives and investment analysis.
An optional sandwich year placement allows you to gain hands-on experience in a working environment between your second and final years. The course is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), the UK's chartered professional body for mathematicians, meaning that with further experience you could achieve Chartered Mathematician status.
