The program has taught me rigorous mathematics, computing, theory and modeling, and practical finance.

The program has taught me rigorous mathematics, computing, theory and modeling, and practical finance. I found the classes extremely well organized and focused on important theoretical aspects of financial modelling.
The professors have a well respected expertise in various areas of financial mathematics: from stochastic calculus to introduction to financial markets. I have background in pure mathematics and without this program would have been much harder to shift to financial mathematics that deals with real world problems of high complexity. The course on statistics was very well received by all of us and since I landed in industry I use everything I have learned every day. The courses studied in the Phimac program gave a very good start in my first job and put me ahead of other peers who didn’t have a master in financial mathematics. I strongly recommend pursuing a Master in Financial mathematics at Phimac if you are planning to change your career to finance.
