These two full time 12 months programmes are designed for graduates in mathematics, engineering, science, or a social science area with suitable numeracy background, wishing to pursue careers in modern applications of mathematics.  MSc Applicable Mathematics suits graduates preferring traditional engineering and science applications.  MSc Computational Finance suits graduates preferring finance, banking, and insurance from a practitioner's perspective.  The core philosophy of the programmes is to equip students through the core course Mathematics and its Applications.  In addition the programmes will equip students with various numerical and programming skills. The programmes cover relevant mathematical skills and applications, common courses such as theory and numerical skills across different applications industries, and professional modules dedicated to each programme utilising all research expertise within the School.  Graduates build strong ties with the industry through the weekly expertise seminar series.  The aim of the programmes is to ensure that students have an advanced understanding of both theory and practice for their selected specialist areas.

Students require to complete 180 credits:

*MATH1075 Project (60 credits) - a substantial individual project on a topic chosen by the student
*MATH1128 Mathematics and its Applications (30 credits) or MATH1127 Mathematical Finance (30 credits)
*A range of 15 credit courses adapted to different professional requirements such as:Computational Methods Mathematical Approaches to Risk Management Advanced Finite Difference Methods for Derivatives Pricing Inverse Problems Reliability and Optimisation Mathematics of Complex Systems Entry requirements A 2:1 classification or its equivalent in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a relevant discipline with substantial amount of mathematical and numeracy content. Those who have substantial commercial or industrial experience in a relevant field can be accepted, subject to interview, references, and recommendation from the programme committee.  For applicants whose first language is not English, the minimum level of English is the equivalent to an IELTS score of 6 or for TOEFL iBT a score of 93.
