Mathematics with Management & Finance with Year in Industry

Mathematics with Management and Finance is a degree that combines one of the most rigorous intellectual disciplines with the practical domain where quantitative skills are most directly applied. Mathematics develops your ability to reason precisely, to model complex systems and to derive conclusions with certainty from clearly stated assumptions. Management and finance put those skills to work in the world of business and investment, where quantitative analysis underpins strategy, risk management, financial modelling and resource allocation.

At King's College London, the four-year programme, which includes a year in industry, provides a rigorous foundation in advanced mathematics alongside an in-depth engagement with key management and finance principles. You will study pure and applied mathematics at a demanding level, developing the depth of understanding that professional roles in quantitative finance and management consulting require. The management and finance component covers corporate finance, investment theory, accounting, strategy and the emerging trends shaping business and financial markets.

The year in industry gives you the opportunity to apply your skills in a professional setting and to build the networks and experience that employers value.

King's location in London, at the heart of the UK's financial services sector and close to major consulting, technology and business employers, is a significant asset for a degree of this kind. The professional opportunities accessible from a London university campus enrich both the curriculum and the career development support available.

Graduates of mathematics with management and finance programmes work in investment banking, quantitative research, asset management, management consulting, corporate finance, risk management and the technology sector. Professional qualifications such as the CFA are a natural complement. Postgraduate study in financial mathematics, economics or business administration is a common route for those who want to develop further specialist expertise.
