Phase 3 (E4MAT003C)

1 Intended Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of the programme, the participants should be able to:

  1. Generalize the latest developments in AI and Quantitative Finance.

  2. Apply your mathematical and computational knowledge to work on a specific research project related to AI/Quantitative Finance.

  3. Select a research project with peers as a group, create a well-planned schedule, write a research report, and deliver a presentation on your research findings.

  4. Justify research findings and observations through mathematical models and computational algorithms based on the mathematical modelling process.

  5. Develop collaboration skills via group research projects.
