Our students are career-driven, computer-savvy quantitative thinkers. They come from a wide range of countries and have diverse backgrounds. They want to advance their career and seek life-changing, quality 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.

If you have a background in one or more of the following areas, our MScFE program could be a great fit for you:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical field, e.g. physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or economics

  • Experience in algorithm development and/or at least one programming language such as Python or R

  • Experience in analyzing datasets

  • Relevant work experience

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