Program Overview

FMAT4105: Financial Maths and Stats Honours Project C

Overview

Independent research can be a life-changing experience. In this unit, students will complete a research project in the discipline of Financial Mathematics and Statistics. Together with their supervisor, they will identify a novel research question and develop a model, or propose some mathematical or computational analysis. They will then carry out this program of work to produce results that can be interpreted in terms of the underlying problem in finance. Their work will be assessed by a twenty-minute presentation towards the end of their honours year and a 40 to 60 page honours thesis. Successful completion of their Honours will clearly demonstrate that they have mastered significant research and professional skills for either undertaking a PhD or any variety of future careers.
