The program is designed to prepare you for a career in the finance industry or other parts of the private and public sector where analytical and mathematical skills are valued.

Two thirds of your time is spent on mathematics, including modules in financial mathematics covering mathematical modeling of financial and insurance markets, as well as pure, applied and statistical mathematics modules. You’ll be taught by Leeds University Business School, which is internationally renowned for the quality of its teaching, research and facilities, in the areas of business finance, accounting and economics. As you progress through the course, you’ll have more flexibility and choice of modules, allowing you to explore your particular areas of interest.
