Economic and Financial Mathematics

Graduates of Economic and Financial Mathematics (EFM) have basic knowledge across mathematical analysis, algebra, differential and difference equations, numerical methods, probability and statistics. They also study mathematical disciplines directly applicable to economics and finance: econometrics, selected statistical methods, linear and nonlinear programming, and fundamentals of financial mathematics.

Depending on personal interests, they also know the basics of other specialisations, such as game theory, data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, insurance, accounting and many more.

Graduates have a general understanding of classical and modern economic theories and the main concepts and relationships in banking and finance. They have computer skills, can programme in a selected object-oriented language and use software for publishing results.

• Economics.
• Programming.
• Mathematical analysis.
• Linear algebra and geometry.
• Matrix calculus.
• Theory of probability and statistics.
• Mathematical Software.

Given Slovak educational traditions, many bachelor’s graduates are expected to continue to a master’s programme in EFM. However, this bachelor’s programme is also designed to enable graduates to enter employment directly.

They can work wherever mathematical and statistical analysis is needed, requiring mathematical methods and basic economic and financial terminology. Opportunities include banking and finance, government bodies, and economic, statistical, financial and research institutes.
