Summer Internships:
IFAM is a vibrant, engaging and stimulating environment to study. You will learn from internationally recognised experts who will encourage you to take part in research projects at the Institute.
We offer spring and summer schools in partnership with industry for our students to gain further skills and increase their employability.
Our actuarial and financial mathematics programmes offer a wide range of modules, providing a strong foundation for a successful career in banking, insurance, software development, research institutions or government agencies.
Undergraduate programmes
Master's programmes
The MSc in Applied Statistics and Data Science will equip STEM graduates with the ability to apply methods of statistics and data science to solve complex real-world problems across a broad range of fields, from finance and investment to global health and epidemiology. You will acquire the knowledge and skills required to lead innovation and spearhead change in a data-driven world. In semester two, the Machine Learning for Investment Science pathway will enable you to employ the power of machine learning to understand how to model, predict, and interpret international financial trends and economic forces. Modules include Quantitative Risk Management, Mathematical Finance, and Machine Learning for Finance.
Postgraduate research
Studying for a PhD within the Institute provides an opportunity to explore and enhance our understanding of financial and actuarial mathematics. Through our industry contacts, you will also be able to see how these new insights apply in the real world.
You will be expected to tackle problems which require a high level of mathematical understanding. You are required to have a degree with a significant mathematical component.
Candidates from the UK are expected to have at least a 2:1 degree from a leading university. International students should also be of a comparable level.
The Institute will help exceptional candidates obtain funding to cover the tuition fees as well as a stipend to cover living expenses.
