Mathematics with Management & Finance
Mathematics with management and finance brings together the rigour and analytical power of advanced mathematics with the practical and conceptual demands of managing organisations and operating in financial markets. The combination is not merely convenient but intellectually substantive: the financial sector and the modern economy more broadly are deeply mathematical, and the most interesting and consequential problems in management and finance increasingly require the kind of formal reasoning that mathematical training develops most effectively. At the same time, applying mathematics in management and finance contexts requires understanding what the numbers represent and what decisions they support, which management and finance education provides.
At King's College London this three-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, which both enriches your academic development and adds an international dimension to your profile. You will develop a rigorous foundation in advanced mathematical theory, covering analysis, algebra, probability, and statistics alongside the mathematical methods most relevant to financial and management applications. The management and finance component develops expertise in key principles and emerging trends in business strategy, corporate finance, investment, and quantitative analysis, equipping you to apply creative and deductive thinking to careers in areas including big data, artificial intelligence, and quantitative finance.
King's location in London places you at the heart of one of the world's leading financial and business centres.
Graduates of mathematics with management and finance are well placed for careers in investment banking, asset management, quantitative finance, data science, financial technology, risk management, management consultancy, and technology companies working on complex analytical problems. The combination of mathematical rigour and financial and management knowledge is highly valued in competitive graduate programmes across these sectors. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in financial mathematics, statistics, data science, or related disciplines, or pursue professional qualifications in finance such as the CFA.
