It provides a convenient link between university mathematics and secondary or high school mathematics as well, since a high amount of bachelors in mathematics find jobs as teachers at schools. Including practical training in the stock market and banks, it provides the student with the modern mathematical techniques used for the evaluation of financial risks, pricing of options and portfolio optimisation. Its aim is to provide a solid foundation in the different mathematical techniques and software used in many industrial and economical sectors of production.
