About Bsc Mathematics With Finance in University of Manchester
This joint-honours degree programme is aimed at mathematics students with a particular interest in financial systems. It includes the same course units in financial mathematics as Mathematics with Financial Mathematics (UCAS code G1NH), but has a greater component of Accounting and Finance. This provides a foundation in finance including the study of international financial markets and multinational corporate finance. Topics presently covered include Financial Reporting and Investment Analysis. You study Mathematics and Finance in the ratio 3:1. A core of basic mathematics provides you with the fundamental mathematical knowledge and skills, and the basis for more advanced work later on.
You will cover core topics in the first year, developing your capacity to learn and apply mathematical ideas. In the second year you then take two themes: Probability & Statistics, and a half of Applied Mathematics, along with 40 credits from the Alliance Manchester Business School course units. You will understand the significance and power of mathematics, and will acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of the mathematical and financial topics that any employer would expect of a math with finance graduate.
After your first two years, you chose your lecture courses from a widening range of options in order that you can pursue whichever areas of mathematics most interest you. You can also choose to do a final year project on a mathematical topic supervised by a member of staff.
