Numbers can do more than describe the world. They can help us understand it, find patterns and make decisions where every fraction of a second matters.
Swansea Quant Society brings together students curious about the ideas behind quantitative finance, from mathematics and statistics to computer science, algorithms and financial markets.
But the best way to understand the industry is to experience it. Through our committee’s internship and insight programmes, we have developed connections with leading institutions across finance and technology, including:
Maven | JPMorgan Chase | Goldman Sachs | Bloomberg | Citi | Bank of America | American Express | Moody’s
From your first introduction to quantitative finance to your next step into the industry, Swansea Quant Society is a place to develop your knowledge, build connections and engage with the people working at the forefront of finance and technology.
Come see where the numbers take you.
