Engineering Mathematics in Finance (BENG0019)

This module aims to introduce students to the principles of “Financial Engineering” and discuss how it links with classes of problems commonly met in traditional engineering applications. Students will strengthen their knowledge of the mathematical techniques discussed in previously taken mathematics modules and they will apply these to the solution of problems in finance.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Recognise the connections between mathematics, engineering and how mathematical ideas are embedded in a Financial Engineering context;
	Understand the basic concepts of Quantitative Finance & Financial Econometrics
	Perform basic calculations using Quantitative Finance/Economics techniques
	Understanding difference equations and their usage in Finance and Economics as well as obtaining their solutions using Laplace transforms.
	Modelling long-term relationships between prices and exchange rates.
	Relate the behavior of the output of mathematical models to the underlying conceptual models of interest
	Present and interpret quantitative results in effective and appropriate ways to varied audiences, including non-mathematical or engineering audiences.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BENG0004)

The module aims to equip students with an understanding of basic biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular genetics and of how the science underpins bioprocess operations. Students gain in-depth learning about the properties of various small and macromolecules and how these build the cell structures and cell types they will be using and studying in their Biochemical Engineering degree.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Become familiar with the biological molecules, their structure and function.
	Understand the properties of enzymes and enzyme kinetics and their function in metabolic pathways.
	Characterise the major metabolic pathways of cell growth and metabolism.
	Know the cellular structures of bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells.
	Learn the fundamentals of genetics and how it leads into the construction and use of recombinant DNA.
Understand how proteins are expressed and how they can be purified for analysis.
