Compulsory/Core modules

Storing, Manipulating and Visualising Data

The ability to store, manipulate and display data in appropriate ways is of great importance to data scientists. This module will introduce you to many of the most widely-used techniques in the field. The emphasis of this module is primarily on the interactive use of various IT tools, rather than on programming as such, although in a number of cases you will learn how to develop short programs (scripts) to automate various tasks.

Programming in Python

This module introduces you to the Python programming language. After learning about data types, variables and expressions, you will explore the most important features of the core language including conditional branching, loops, functions, classes and objects. We will also look at several of the key packages (libraries) that are widely used for numerical programming and data analysis.

Machine Learning with Python

This module will introduce you to some of the most widely-used techniques in machine learning (ML). After reviewing the necessary background mathematics, we will investigate various ML methods, such as linear regression, polynomial regression, neural networks, classification with logistic regression, support vector machines and decision trees. The module covers a very wide range of practical applications, with an emphasis on hands-on numerical work using Python. At the end of the module, you will be able to formalise a ML task, choose the appropriate method to process it numerically, implement the ML algorithm in Python, and assess the method's performance.

Probability and Statistics for Data Analytics

This module establishes the probability and statistics background required for students applying techniques or doing other advanced statistics Modules. The Module begins by covering the essential theoretical notions of probability and the distributions of random variables which underpin statistical methods. It then describes different types of statistical tests of hypotheses and addresses the questions of how to use them and when to use them. This material is essential for applications of statistics in psychology, life or physical sciences, business or economics.

Project Dissertation

Each MSc student is required to complete a 60 credit project dissertation. Project selection takes place in Semester B with work on the project starting thereafter and continuing through the summer. An MSc project should help prepare students for independent practical work and PhD research. A typical MSc project dissertation consists of about 30-50 word-processed pages covering a specific research-level topic in pure or applied mathematics. The work usually requires the student to understand, explain and elaborate on results from research articles or analyse a dataset and may also involve programming and computation.

Compulsory/Core Elective modules

Neural Networks and Deep Learning

This module introduces you to several state-of-the-art methodologies for machine learning with neural networks (NNs). After discussing the basic theory of constructing and calibrating NNs, we consider various types of NN suitable for different purposes, such as recurrent NNs, autoencoders and transformers. This module includes a wide range of practical applications; you will implement each type of network using Python (and PyTorch) for your weekly coursework assignments, and will calibrate these networks to real datasets.

Forecasting with AI

The module introduces to methods for forecasting using both classical techniques and the latest AI-driven approaches. It covers methods such as ARIMA, basic machine learning models, and neural networks (e.g., LSTM). The module is centred on fundamental techniques used across industries and provides practical skills in applying forecasting methods to real-world datasets across domains.

Bayesian Statistics

The module aims to introduce you to the Bayesian paradigm. The module will show some of the problems with frequentist statistical methods and demonstrate that the Bayesian paradigm provides a unified approach to problems of statistical inference and prediction. In the Module you will learn to make Bayesian inferences in a variety of problems, and apply Bayesian methods in real-life examples.

Computational Statistics with R

This module introduces modern methods of statistical inference for small samples, which use computational methods of analysis, rather than asymptotic theory. The techniques covered in the module include non-parametric tests, bootstrap, and cross-validation. Most of these methods are now used regularly in modern business, finance, and science. Finally, the module includes the implementation of all the proposed methods with the statistics software R.

Advanced Machine Learning

This module builds on the earlier module 'Machine Learning with Python', covering a number of advanced techniques in machine learning, such as different methods for clustering, dimensionality reduction, matrix completion, and autoencoders. Although the underlying theoretical ideas are clearly explained, this module is very hands-on, and you will implement various applications using Python in the weekly coursework assignments.

Financial Data Analytics

This module will provide students with a general understanding of current applications of data analytics to finance and in particular to derivatives and investment banking. It will introduce a range of analytical tools such as volatility surface management, yield curve evolution and FX volatility/correlation management. It will also provide you with an overview of some standard tools in the field such as Python, R, Excel/VBA and the Power BI Excel functionality. Students are not expected to have any familiarity with coding or any of the topics above, as the module will develop these from scratch. It will provide you with the understanding of a field necessary to prepare for a career in finance in roles such as trading, structuring, management, risk management and quantitative positions in investment banks and hedge funds.

Digital and Real Asset Analytics

This module will introduce students to the elementary mathematics and analytics of investment for digital and real assets. This module will develop, from a practical approach, an understanding of the analytics of several asset classes that are currently included in investment portfolios, such as commodities, real estate, art and cryptoassets, and how these assets' statistical properties fit in the context of the portfolio. The module focuses on the concepts and characteristics of digital and real assets. It will introduce students to the mathematics of the Theory of Storage for commodities, the mathematics of indexes and uses in the real estate and art markets, trading algorithms, and cryptocurrency investment strategies such as staking, De-Fi, and non-fungible tokens. This module is particularly useful for students considering a career in financial mathematics, finance, investment management, investment banking, consultancy or asset management.

Graphs and Networks

This module addresses one of the most important 'hot topics' in mathematics research - the study of networks - and is essential for understanding the characteristics and universal structural properties of complex networks. Complex networks are the outcome usually of a stochastic dynamics but they are not completely random. You will learn how to disentangle randomness from structural organisational principles of complex networks and how several major types of complex network can be described and artificially generated by mathematical models. Networks characterise the underlying structure of a large variety of complex systems, from the Internet to social networks and the brain. This course is designed to teach students the mathematical language needed to describe complex networks, their basic properties and dynamics. The broad aim is to provide students with the key skills required fundamental research in complex networks, and necessary for application of network theory to specific network problems arising in academic or industrial environments.

Neural Networks and Deep Learning

This module introduces you to several state-of-the-art methodologies for machine learning with neural networks (NNs). After discussing the basic theory of constructing and calibrating NNs, we consider various types of NN suitable for different purposes, such as recurrent NNs, autoencoders and transformers.

In the Module you will learn to make Bayesian inferences in a variety of problems, and apply Bayesian methods in real-life examples.

SAS for Business Intelligence

This module is key for students wishing to further their understanding of the visualisation techniques used in business decision processes using the powerful SAS Visual Analytics software. You will learn Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the most prevalent programming language in industry and some Structured Query Language (SQL) for data manipulation. The course is taught by an actuary with 15 years industry experience in this area.

Advanced Machine Learning

This module builds on the earlier module 'Machine Learning with Python', covering a number of advanced techniques in machine learning, such as different methods for clustering, dimensionality reduction, matrix completion, and autoencoders. Although the underlying theoretical ideas are clearly explained, this module is very hands-on, and you will implement various applications using Python in the weekly coursework assignments.

Optimisation for Business Processes

Optimisation refers to the selection of the best alternative, according to some criterion, from a set of available alternatives. This module introduces standard models from mathematical optimisation, like network flows and linear programmes, and their use in solving real-world optimisation problems; in staff and project scheduling, commodity trading, production, and sales. Tutorials focus on modelling of real-world optimisation problems based on data, and on the use of software such as R, Excel, and Gurobi to solve optimisation problems and make better decisions.

Computational Statistics with R

This module introduces modern methods of statistical inference for small samples, which use computational methods of analysis, rather than asymptotic theory. The techniques covered in the module include non-parametric tests, bootstrap, and cross-validation. Most of these methods are now used regularly in modern business, finance, and science.
