UCL School Of Management
London, United Kingdom
Data science is becoming increasingly important in the finance industry, as companies seek graduates whose main expertise is in finance but who also have a high level of data science literacy and skills.
The Finance with Data Science MSc will equip you with the skills required to make data-driven decisions as a finance specialist and stand out in the job market. You'll learn to collaborate and contribute on the technical aspects of projects, analyses, and decisions with colleagues and, in particular, with data science experts.
The programme is delivered by two of UCL's leading departments, The UCL School of Management and UCL's Department of Economics in Canary Wharf, the business and finance hub of London. It has been specifically designed based on world-class research expertise in finance, data science, econometrics, and economics.
You'll leave this programme ready to secure a position in major global financial hubs, whether at a bulge bracket investment bank, hedge fund, or pioneering data-driven finance start-up.As a graduate you will typically place in a financial company, in roles that are more quantitative than MSc Finance graduates, and with a large expected exposure to computer and data scientists. Some examples: Credit Analyst (e.g., in a credit rating agency), Portfolio analyst (pathway to become a Portfolio Manager in any asset management company), Quantitative Analyst (e.g., in a hedge fund), Risk Analyst (e.g., in a clearing house), Investment Analyst (in any finance boutique), or even Financial Engineer (e.g., in an investment bank to design structured products).
