UCL Engineering QuanTech exhibition

We recently hosted the UCL Engineering QuanTech project exhibition at Level 39 Incubator, Canary Wharf. It was an opportunity for major finance companies and experts to hear from our multi-discipline teams from software system engineering, risk management, quants, math, electrical and mechanical engineering specialties.  

Project topics included Big Data, CRM, HFT and derivative modelling, all of which are demanded by multinational companies, and are all examples of the architecture implemented by UCL gen-Y engineers.

The Faculty of Engineering at UCL is proud to run one of the most successful work placement programs as a mandatory part of specialty finance graduate degrees and we are grateful to our partners - the innovators, inventors, investors, founders, developers and other stakeholders in our programs. We enjoy industry links with hundreds of companies spanning the whole of financial services, including investment banks, retail banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, reinsurance companies, stock exchanges, alternative execution venues and financial services technology firms.

Financial Computing comprises both Computational Finance (algorithmic trading, risk management, market simulation and portfolio optimisation) and Financial IT (financial software engineering, cloud computing, GPU and scalable high-performance computing). We provide taught courses in Financial Computing at undergraduate (BSc, MEng) and postgraduate (MSc) levels, and training in research at PhD level.
