Financial Computing (Adv Cert)

With the surge of high frequency trading and complex investing models, more and more sophisticated computing techniques and skills are required in the finance industry besides traditional quantitative models. For example, strong C++ based software development and machine-learning skills are essential for a financial engineer in automated trading.

This certificate program aims at training and sharpening students' computing skills in handling real world large-scale financial data in addition to financial software development.
