Our MPhil Computational Finance program provides research supervision across key areas including agent-based financial market modeling, computational risk analysis, high-frequency trading, and computational intelligence for investment strategies. We foster a dynamic research culture where MPhil candidates regularly publish in top-tier conferences and gain industry recognition – for instance, one PhD candidate recently presented their term structure research at the Bank of England, while others secure practical experience through internships at leading financial firms.

Our alumni have established successful careers as quants, portfolio managers, and fintech developers at institutions including HSBC and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities.

Through our City Associates Board and alumni network, we maintain strong industry connections. Our seminar series facilitates collaboration with sector leaders, and many students complete internships at prominent organizations like HSBC, Old Mutual, and the Bank of England.
