Course Description
The demand for mathematically and statistically trained people is higher than ever, particularly in a world full of data that needs to be understood. This programme provides a range of subject knowledge and transferable skills that employers value highly. Graduates will have a very strong mathematical and statistical background, combined with knowledge of economics and finance, and training in coding and computation in addition to the other, broader, elements of an LSE education (such as provided by LSE100). Graduates are likely to find opportunities not only in the finance sector, but in many other areas where quantitative analysis and data-handling are important.
