WorldQuant University's MSc in Financial Engineering

Our MSc is where programming and data science meet the future of finance.

This field is on the rise as financial innovation across the globe drives demand for analytics and data science training.

From evaluating statistics to econometric modeling, our students learn advanced skills that can be applied across industries. Graduates are well positioned for careers in securities, banking, and financial management as well as in general manufacturing and service firms that increasingly rely on the expertise of quantitative analysts.

What You’ll Learn

Designed by industry experts, WorldQuant University’s program integrates mathematical, statistical, and computer science tools with finance theory in a completely online and collaborative setting. Graduates are positioned to excel in today’s highly collaborative, fast-paced, professional environments.

The two-year program consists of nine graduate-level courses and a Capstone Course during which students complete a culminating project. The courses are sequentially taught and build on one another. Taking one course at a time allows you to earn your degree without disrupting your life.

All courses are delivered online and focus on applied projects.

Course Descriptions

The MSc in Financial Engineering is comprised of nine graduate-level courses as well as a Capstone course. Each of the nine courses consists of seven one-week-long modules with one-week breaks between courses. The final Capstone Course during which students complete a culminating Capstone project is 10 weeks long.

Who Should Apply?

Our students are career-driven, computer-savvy quantitative thinkers. They have fully completed a bachelor’s degree and are interested in a future in financial engineering.

Students come from a wide range of countries and have diverse backgrounds. They want to advance their career and seek life-changing education. They are persistent, resilient, and committed to meeting the demands of our rigorous program and to mastering advanced concepts. They understand the value of collaborative work and value sharing knowledge as much as acquiring it.

Students are expected to commit 25 hours per week between lecture videos, assignments, group projects, and individual study.
