Quantitative Finance and Econometrics Major

Quantitative Finance and Econometrics (QFE) is the intersection of Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, and Business Analytics. The program will train students in three key areas necessary for success in this competitive field: analytical problem-solving, computer programming (Python, R, SAS, Stata, VBA, and EViews), and thorough knowledge of finance and economics. Quantitative analysts and econometricians transform raw data into intelligent business strategies. Financial Analysts and Economists with a strong mathematical background are in short supply, and quantitative finance and econometrics are both growing and extremely well-compensated fields.

UWA’s QFE major is recognized as part of the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) University Affiliation Program. UWA’s QFE curriculum covers more than 70% of the Level 1 CFA exam material. Scholarships ($1050 each) are available each year to UWA senior
