Financial Engineering (MFE) – Interdisciplinary

The MFE program seeks for applicants with strong quantitative skills, and computer programming experience who are interested in complex financial markets and instruments. The following are preferred qualifications.

Admission Qualification:

• A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in quantitative fields (E.g. Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics and Finance).
• Post-university work experience in financial fields.
• Some exposure in computer programming (E.g. C, C++), mathematical tools (E.g. Matlab, Mathematica), and statistical applications (E.g. SAS, RATS, S-Plus, R).
• A strong quantitative background including linear algebra, multivariate calculus, differential equations, numerical analysis and advanced statistics and probability.
• Excellent written and spoken English communication.

Program Structure

The MFE program is run on a trimester basis. Each trimester lasts for 4 months. We offer both full-time and flexible (part-time) programs and all courses are taught in English. The full-time program has two options: Plan A (Thesis track) and Plan B (Special Project Track). The flexible program has only Plan B.

Full-time vs Flexible Program

Choose the study program that suits you best. Our full-time program is designed as a 1-year program. For the flexible program, students register for fewer course per term, and the curriculum spans 2 years. Classes in both programs meet weekdays evening or on weekends.

Special Project vs Thesis

Our unique curriculum culminates in students’ developing their Special Projects.  Alternatively, students who wish to produce more academically-intensive works will have the option of doing Thesis instead of Special Project.

Note: For admission, applicants are recommended to take Quantitative Aptitude Test (QAT) instead of GRE Math Subject Test unless they are not in Thailand.  Please find the details here.
