Graduate Programs in Financial Engineering & Quantitative Finance
Explore 130+ Financial Engineering & Quantitative Finance graduate programs at 50+ universities across 9 countries.
Overview
Financial engineering, mathematical finance and quantitative finance are grouped together because they share one core: applying mathematics, statistics and computing to financial markets. Coursework covers stochastic calculus, derivatives pricing, risk management, numerical methods and programming.
Most programs are intensive master's degrees with heavy programming and close ties to industry recruiting. Doctoral study usually sits within mathematics, statistics or finance departments and leads to research roles.
Graduates become quantitative analysts, quantitative traders, risk managers, quantitative developers and model validators. Investment banks, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and asset managers are the main employers, clustered in major financial centers, and strong programming and machine learning skills matter as much as mathematics.
Most Financial Engineering & Quantitative Finance programs charge between $24,000 and $75,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $42,000 and $94,000.
