Quantitative Finance
The global financial crisis of 2008-09 led to a simplification of financial derivatives, along with an increasing weight of the regulation (FRTB, MiFID, interest rate reform, Solvency II on the insurance side,...). Data and their analysis are every day more at the core of all systems. This poses unprecedented computational challenges, which can only be addressed by combining the resources of distributed, cloud, and GPU computing. Finally, today's quantitative finance is every day more diverse: investment banking, but also buy-side (hedge funds), finance of insurance, fintech, etc.
In line with these evolutions, M2QF brings to high level scientific students an invaluable expertise in the field of quantitative finance, considered from the double point of view of mathematics (probability and statistics, computational methods) and data science. Job opportunities after the master program: quantitative analyst, risk manager, IT quant, insurance, data scientist for finance, PhD thesis in quantitative finance,...
