Asset Pricing in Continuous Time (Masters level) (MATH0085)

The course introduces the notion of No-Arbitrage Pricing and stochastic calculus necessary for modern Financial Mathematics. Derivation of the Back-Scholes partial differential equation, which is solved using classical techniques (heat equation), are shown. Financial applications are emphasized and shortcomings of the Black-Scholes framework are examined in great detail. Extensions, including stochastic volatility models, are presented. The Feynman-Kac connection between diffusions and PDEs is emphasized.

The aims of this course are to:

1. Introduce concepts of stochastic calculus in finance

2. Pricing and hedging of derivative instruments

3. Shortcomings (and proposed solutions) of the Black-Scholes model

4. Gain a solid understanding of key financial concepts from both a mathematical and financial viewpoint

Spanish Levels 4+5: Business and Current Affairs (LCSP0012)

The aim of the course is to enable students who already have a reasonably advanced knowledge of Spanish to acquire a better fluency in the language to be able to communicate in all situations within Spanish speaking countries. It teaches specialised vocabulary to enable participants to use their language skills in a professional environment, such as meetings and conferences, as well as covering related topics such as current affairs and the latest trends in Spanish and Latin American society. 

The course will enhance knowledge of Spanish and Latin American life, society and business culture using complex and linguistically accurate structures (different types of discourse, register). 

Cultural awareness will be further developed and raised within a European/global context.  Language learning skills, including autonomous learning and how to approach authentic material, will be further enhanced.  Various transferable skills will also be covered.
