Know More
The certificate programs at SQF first build foundation in mathematics, statistics, probability theory, stochastic calculus and computing skills. Then expertise in stochastic calculus and financial modeling, which is the heart and soul of quant finance, is given. At the same time a number of courses are offered to provide the domain knowledge on specific asset classes, and the emerging area of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Finally, specialized courses on topics such as interest-rate modeling, credit derivatives, etc. are given to prepare you adequately for the job market.
The courses involve as much theory as hands-on implementation of various risk and pricing models. The students acquire exposure to practical aspects of quantitative finance and learn how to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical applications. An important aspect of the program is emphasis on learning basic tools and theories related to the field. That is followed by implementation of valuation models of derivative instruments of various asset classes. Learning to carry out risk analysis and implement risk models for various asset classes goes hand-in-hand with all the modelling work.
