2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science and Engineering - Transfer to Master of Mathematics - Mathematics with Finance

Program Description This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at the University of Sussex followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Sussex. In your International Foundation Year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

In the International Foundation Year in Sciences & Engineering, you will explore and begin to understand the power of engineering and science in the real world. While you begin to learn the technical aspects of your desired degree program you will also be provided with a critical outlook and approach employers want in your chosen field.

If you want to explore the strong relationship between mathematics and financial analysis, this Master of Mathematics in Mathematics and Finance course is for you.

You’ll learn from experts in both disciplines. You’ll gain a thorough grounding in the theories and techniques that underlie modern mathematics and finance. The use of industry-standard software (such as MATLAB, Python and R) develops your analytical and modelling skills. You’ll graduate with the specialist knowledge crucial for success in today’s financial industry.

You’ll be guided throughout your degree by an academic adviser. We’ll support your career development with opportunities to engage with potential employers, while you gain the confidence and competence they’re looking for.

During your integrated Masters year, you’ll develop new skills in both subjects and apply them to an advanced research project. This is particularly relevant if you’re interested in going on to a research career at universities or in industry.
