NUS MSc in Financial Engineering
The Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MFE) is a multi-disciplinary program that combines finance, mathematics, and computing with a practical orientation to solve problems in finance. The MFE was launched in 1999 by the Centre for Financial Engineering at NUS, the predecessor to RMI. It aims to equip finance and banking industry professionals and fresh graduates with current knowledge and skills in financial innovations and technology. The domain knowledge includes financial product development, modelling of prices, hedging, investment technology, risk analyses and computational methods.
There are many MFE programs available and the RMI MFE distinguishes itself by striving to shape its students into ‘doers’ – people with the theoretical background necessary to approach complex financial problems and the practical know-how to solve these problems.
RMI is a world leader in advancing innovative solutions to risk management challenges. We offer an environment where new ideas are created and innovative solutions are put to real practice. As an MFE student of RMI, you will have a unique opportunity to hone research skills and contribute towards building a critical part of the world financial infrastructure.
