The rapid increase in available computing speeds over the past fifteen years has led to the widespread adoption of sophisticated computational methods for financial modelling and the development of algorithmic approaches to market trading. This programme provides an appropriately rigorous treatment of branches of mathematics applicable to financial modelling, including measure- theoretic probability, stochastic processes in discrete and continuous time, and partial differential equations. Computational methods are a core part of the programme; we provide exposure to relevant software including Python, R and C#, and the option to study machine learning, which is emerging as an essential and rapidly developing tool in industry. The programme is targeted at students pursuing degrees in the mathematical sciences who wish to enhance their employment options by studying advanced mathematics with a financial focus. Cork is located in the southwest of Ireland and enjoys proximity to financial sector employers in Ireland (for the example in the IFSC in Dublin) and in other European financial centres.
