The Master Program in “IT for Finance” trains specialists in the areas of computational and quantitative finance, collectively known as QUANTS.
The Master Program in “IT for Finance” is training technology specialist in finance. We are training traders, programmers, cryptocurrency specialists, or researchers in computational and quantitative finance, otherwise known as QUANTS. Our program focusses on high-end technology and their application on financial markets.
The course provides in-depth knowledge of IT infrastructure and the organization of modern financial markets, addressing the IT operations of financial market participants.
It includes an introduction to the computer systems and hardware of investment banks, mutual or hedge funds, brokerages dealers, financial exchanges and clearing corporations, custodians, regulators.
Our program privileges the practical construction and implementation of financial market software, from an engineering point of view:
– Understanding, and maintaining financial market applications (software- and hardware);
– Developing new relevant software, or hardware for financial market applications;
– Emphasizing advanced numerical and mathematical methods, including the knowledge on financial market risk, econometrics and statistics, as well as the application of such models in advanced testing and simulation environments.
While other programs focus on computational finance, developing mathematical, numerical models for trading solutions only, EFREI privileges the practical construction and implementation of financial market software, from an engineering point of view:
applying programming languages and financial protocols in developing financial market software while understanding the context of applications.
Emphasizing solid numerical and mathematical methods the program includes advanced knowledge on financial market risk, econometrics and statistics, as well as the application of such models in advanced testing and simulation environments, such as Monte Carlo Simulations, stress testing or portfolio optimization problems, but also execution and order management algorithms
By the end of this program, the new Engineer in IT for Finance will have the following skills:
