GRADUATE
PROGRAMS
The distinctive feature of our interdisciplinary Master in Finance program is its strong
emphasis on financial and monetary economics, relying on analytical and computational
methods. Graduates of our program have a solid understanding of the fundamental
quantitative tools of economic theory, probability, statistics, optimization, computer
science, and machine learning, all of which are vital in the financial industry. There now
exists a body of knowledge that is widely agreed to be essential for the proper analysis and
management of financial securities, portfolios, and the financial decisions of firms. 
A driving force behind these developments is an exchange of ideas between academia and
the financial industry, a collaboration that is the closest parallel in the social sciences to the
academic-private sector interactions routinely seen in engineering and the applied
sciences. The Master in Finance program prepares students for a wide spectrum of careers
in the financial industry, ranging from quantitative trading strategies, risk management, and
financial engineering to quantitative asset management and macroeconomic and financial
forecasting.
