MSc in Analytical Finance: Summary of Course Structure

At the beginning of the Martinmas semester you will have a meeting with the Director of the Programme to decide the modules you take. You take three compulsory modules in the Martinmas Semester. In the Candlemas Semester you take two compulsory modules and choose one from five optional modules. You may if you wish re-advise during the first two weeks of the Candlemas semester. If you have any enquiries regarding your module selection please get in touch with him or her. If you wish to re-advise after the second week of the semester, you must discuss the matter with the Director of the Programme who will then contact the Pro Dean (Advising) for the appropriate approval.

You must not, under any circumstances, enrol yourself into a new module or simply start attending the classes for a new module, at any level, without being re-advised. Advising is one of the primary means by which your academic record is maintained and unless you ensure that this is kept up to date you may find you will not receive the credit for the modules you have taken.

• Neoclassical Finance
• Optimization in Finance
