The University of Colombo commenced the study course MSc Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Mathematics at the College House this week.
The objective of the Master of Financial Mathematics is to enhance the quantitative finance knowledge of the graduates to an international level in the sense of theory and practice.
The programme is intended to train students with financial skills required to operate in an increasingly competitive local and international environment. It is noted that insufficient knowledge in mathematics has become a barrier to enter the international job market.
