Course info
This innovative programme is offered by Nottingham University Business School and the School of Computer Science. It is designed to develop the combination of computational and financial skills now demanded by most careers in finance. The programme aims to develop analysts capable of designing and writing high quality computer code for finance applications. This course encourages the development and combination of quantitative and programming skills to support the solution of problems in financial analysis, financial management, and the pricing of financial instruments. Modules in financial reporting and corporate finance provide key concepts and background in semester 1. These are accompanied by modules which develop advanced quantitative methods relevant to finance and also the programming skills necessary for the implementation of these methods. Semester 2 modules provide further technical development in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems, as well as dealing with the major groups of financial instruments: equity, debt and derivatives. The degree mixes modules which are offered across a range of Masters degrees in each School with others developed exclusively for this programme. These tailored modules include Quantitative Methods for Finance, Computational Methods for Finance, and Artificial Intelligence Applications in Finance. The programme concludes with a supervised project, which will be jointly supervised by the two participating schools and will emphasise the computational solution of a significant real world problem.
