Bachelor of Science in Financial Mathematics (Honours)

A career in quantitative finance could be ideal for you and this is the course to prepare you for it. The big advances in financial products in recent decades, such as derivative securities, have been driven by new developments in mathematics. Using and developing these products in risk management demands a deep understanding of their mathematical character. This course is distinctive in that it digs down into the underlying mathematics, so you’ll become able to work with flexibility and skill with the latest financial products. You’ll gain cutting-edge knowledge in probability and stochastic processes, financial economics, stock-related and fixed income products, time series analysis, machine learning, and computer-based financial simulation. Mathematical and logical reasoning are among the most transferrable and valuable skills graduates can offer prospective employers. Being able to formulate and solve complex real--world problems, using a mixture of mathematical expertise and computer software, is especially valuable. These skills are among the most important you’ll gain from this course. In third year, you’ll do an INTRA work placement of up to eight months, typically in a quantitative role at a financial services company. Given Dublin’s position as a financial centre, these placements are usually in the city, but can be elsewhere. Once you graduate, you’ll be ideally positioned for a career in financial trading, investment analysis, risk management, insurance or the actuarial profession. These are very mathematical areas of finance, so a prospective student should be very able mathematically, and the degree programme is mostly concerned with the mathematical, rather than the business, aspects of these areas of finance.
