Derivatives Trading Book Management with Programming
Derivatives Trading Book Management with Programming is a practically focused advanced course in the market-making of derivatives products using computational modelling. Students will get a bird's eye view of the derivatives industry, and the roles of the major buy- and sell-side players, across all underlying asset classes. They will learn how to use the main 'vanilla' products - forwards, swaps, options, caps and floors - to structure bespoke features and exotic contracts for prospective clients. Using Python, students will create their own Monte Carlo engine and use it in the practice of market making: pricing, dynamic hedging, and risk management. Finally, students will learn about the role and social impact of financial market regulations. -

Desert Landscapes: Modelling and Measuring Aeolian Systems
Some of the biggest uncertainties in climate change predictions come from our lack of understanding of the impact of some of the smallest airborne dust particles. These dust particles are transported between continents from some of the hottest and most unpopulated regions on our planet, and potentially end up fertilising tropical rain forests or ocean algal blooms. Yet, even in the harshest of desert environments, vegetation or bacteria may still exist, and help to shape the windy landscapes that they reside in. Landscapes where wind-blown sand forms some of the most exquisite, self-organised patterns visible on satellite images and recognisable on other planets. -

Design
Conventional laboratory experiments are useful mainly to assist understanding or analysis. Because they are of necessity stereotyped, they are of limited usefulness when a circuit or system must be designed to meet a given specification. The majority of engineering tasks fall into this latter category, and therefore require design or synthesis skills, in addition to the understanding of underlying engineering principles.
This module includes individual and team design exercises devised to provide a bridge between 'conventional' experiments and the project work in the third and fourth years, (which in turn provide a bridge to 'real' projects in industry). The exercise has real deadlines and concrete deliverables and students are encouraged to be creative, develop imaginative solutions and to make mistakes.
Exercises share common characteristics:
• Customer orientated rather than proscriptive specifications are given
• Design work carried out, bringing academic knowledge to bear on practical problems
• Laboratory sessions are used for development/ construction/ verification of designs
• Allow students to demonstrate their communication skills in writing individual and group reports/presentations. -

Design & Methods for Clinical and Health Research
This module is suitable for students who are planning to conduct an empirical project for their dissertation, those who work in clinical and health research settings and those who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of design and methods for clinical and health research. It forms a basis for other research modules comprising the MRes programme. Learning is shared with the doctoral training programme.
Having successfully completed this module, you will be able to:
LO1.Critically appraise and integrate a wide range of literature related to your area of research, both from a scientific and a pragmatic perspective, and in the context of a health care environment
LO2.Identify questions or topics relating to your area of practice and carry out a comprehensive literature search
LO3.Demonstrate an understanding of relevant research design and methods through critical appraisal of selected literature
LO4.Critically evaluate relevant research evidence and synthesise recommendations for your area of research or practice
LO5.Identify and justify appropriate and feasible research question(s). -

Design and Analysis of Experiments
A well-designed experiment is an efficient way of learning about the world. Typically, an experiment may involve varying several factors and observing the value of a response at settings of combinations of values of these factors. The mathematical challenge is then to choose which settings to use in order to gain the maximum information from the resulting data.
Experiments are performed in all branches of science, engineering and industry. In recent years, traditional application areas such as agriculture, manufacturing, medicine and pharmaceutical science
have been joined by bioinformatics, genetics, drug discovery, finance and economics. Problems of increasing size and complexity from these new areas have led to the development of many new
methods for designing and analysing experiments. The aim of this module is to provide a grounding in the statistical and mathematical methods that underpin the design and analysis of experiments, before exploring a number of areas where recent and ongoing developments are taking place. Mathematical criteria for quantifying the information available from a given design will be defined and explored, and will underpin much of the material in the module. -
