Overview
The University of Essex offers research supervision for its PhD program in Computational Finance in several fields, including agent-based modeling of financial markets, computational risk management, high-frequency finance, and the application of computational-intelligence methods for investment decision-making.
It provides a vibrant research environment, enabling PhD students to publish papers in prestigious international conferences, which often attract the attention of industry and government. Recently, one PhD student was invited to present their research on term structure models to the Bank of England, while many others have had the opportunity to apply their research directly through internships at investment banks and hedge funds.
Graduates from the program have advanced to roles as quantitative analysts, portfolio managers, and software engineers at various institutions, including major investment banks such as HSBC and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities.
