Introduction

The finance discipline has undergone a profound transformation in the recent decade, brought about the development of structured products, asset securitization, globalization of trading activities, and increasing reliance on mathematical and computational technologies. In response to these developments, a specialized area in finance called “quantitative finance” has emerged, which emphasizes the applications of quantitative techniques in finance. The Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Finance BSc(QFin) programme (JUPAS Code: 6884) is designed to equip students with the quantitative techniques in mathematical modeling, statistics, and computer programming that are essential in supporting financial decision making, such as valuation of financial products, investment and portfolio management, asset trading, and corporate financial risk management.
