Stanford Quantitative Finance Programme

New and complex financial products, an upsurge in data use in recent years and dramatic changes in the risk and regulatory financial landscape have created a demand for professionals equipped with a broad base of quantitative finance or quant skills. 

For those seeking to advance their careers in the financial sector or improve their understanding of quantitative related topics, the Stanford University Quantitative Finance Certificate Programme offered in Hong Kong is designed to provide relevant learning experiences and a solid foundation of knowledge.

“As financial products become more complex and new regulations become tougher to address, professionals in the industry need the education and the skill sets to understand the trends and provide appropriate solutions,” says Professor Kay Giesecke, director of the Stanford Quantitative Finance Programme who adds the programme is structured to meet the demands of finance professionals by bridging the gap between finance theory and practice.
