Graduates with a major in financial mathematics and statistics are highly sought after by the finance industry, which continues to need graduates with quantitative skills.

The expertise acquired is needed not only for the operation and analysis of investment portfolios, but also to establish, operate and maintain protocols for pricing traditional products like options and futures and modern products such as barriers, caps, swaps, exotics and other derivative securities.

Students who graduate from Mathematical Sciences will be able to show:

• Ability to construct logical, clearly presented and justified arguments incorporating deductive reasoning
• Knowledge of the principles and concepts of a broad range of fundamental areas in mathematics and statistics
• Ability to formulate and model practical and abstract problems in mathematical or statistical terms using a variety of methods
• Ability to apply mathematical principles, concepts, techniques and technology to solve practical and abstract problems and interpret results critically
• Understanding of the breadth of the discipline, its role in other fields and the way that other fields contribute to development in Mathematical Sciences
• Appropriate interpretation of information communicated in statistical or mathematical form
• Appropriate presentation of information, reason and conclusions in a variety of modes to diverse audiences (expert and non-expert).
