Finance with Data Science MSc

The Master’s in Finance with Data Science is a unique programme that combines the scientific foundations of finance with the theory and practice of rigorous financial data analysis. <br/><br/>Data science is becoming increasingly more important in the finance industry, as companies seek graduates whose main expertise is in finance but who also have a high level of data science literacy and skills. The Master’s in Finance with Data Science programme aims to equip you with the skills required to make data-driven decisions as a finance specialist and stand out in the job market. <br/><br/>The programme has been designed based on world-class research expertise in finance, data science, econometrics, and economics. It is highly quantitative combining theory and practice, delivered by leading faculty from the UCL School of Management and the UCL Department of Economics. Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of UCLs academic staff, you will access a rich repository of expertise to navigate real-world challenges using financial market data.<br/><br/>The programme is well-suited for individuals who are passionate about finance. It will equip you with the skills and knowledge essential for positions in major global financial hubs such as New York, London, and Hong Kong—whether at a bulge bracket investment bank, hedge fund, or pioneering data-driven finance start-ups. <br/><br/>We target to enrol a global cohort of 70 students for the 2025-2026 academic year. Since the programme is new for 2025, we do not have existing student data. However, as an indication, data from the existing MSc Finance programme can be used to represent a typical cohort for a programme of this kind.
