当金融试图满足当今全球化现代经济的需求时,它也必须面对风险的大幅增加。为了在这个复杂且变化的环境中进行活动,投资银行、对冲基金和私募股权公司总是在寻找能够识别出利润丰厚的投资机会并管理风险的专业人员。定量分析师就具备这种能力。

什么是量化分析师?

定量分析师或“量化”专家,是一个应用数学和统计方法来解决金融和风险管理问题的专家。他/她开发并实施复杂的模型,供公司用于决策,如投资、定价等问题。

要申请量化分析师的工作,你需要:

  • 强大的数学和统计能力
  • 扎实的数据挖掘和数据分析技能
  • 丰富的金融知识
  • 编程技能

依靠这些技能,你将能够将原始数据转化为智能的商业策略。

工作描述没有吓到你吗?那么,你可能准备接受成为一名量化分析师的挑战!下面是你绝对应该选择这条职业道路的四个理由...

1. 对量化分析师的需求已经增长...

金融行业的特点是不断变化和创新。过去几年里,证券变得越来越复杂。市场上高度评价能够理解证券定价背后的数学模型,从而产生利润并降低风险的专家。对冲基金和自动化交易系统的增长是另一个对量化分析师需求产生积极影响的趋势。

2. ...需求肯定会继续增长

2008年的危机揭示了金融系统的一些局限性。为了降低风险并防止未来的危机,政策制定者已经实施了金融改革。监管机构现在要求前所未有的风险透明度报告,投资者也要求更好的风险基础设施以保护他们的投资。自危机以来,风险管理行业一直在经历剧烈的增长,并且将继续增长以满足更高的监管标准。这对于希望在这个领域发展的量化分析师来说,代表了一个真正的机会。

3. 量化分析师的工作非常具有挑战性... 

作为一名量化分析师,你的职业生涯将充满智力挑战,因为你的角色的重要部分是在压力下解决复杂的问题。定量分析的工作涉及研究、开发和实施数学模型、数据分析、一般的金融知识,以及许多其他使这份工作非常刺激的元素。你需要能够在监督少而压力大的环境中蓬勃发展。量化分析师的工作非常具有竞争性和要求性,工作时间长 - 但与许多其他工作不同,这个领域的成功基于功绩、奉献和知识,而不是人际关系或政治。

4. …并且这条职业道路在经济上也是有回报的

量化分析师的工作在智力和经济上都是有回报的。金融行业的薪酬通常非常高。由于这项工作的挑战性和成功所需要的技能,量化分析师通常得到非常好的报酬,特别是如果他们为对冲基金工作。此外,量化分析师的工作主要在主要的金融中心,如纽约、香港、伦敦和巴黎,这些地方的平均工资比次要城市要高。例如,伦敦(英格兰)的量化分析师的平均工资是每年61,828英镑,纽约(美国)是102,000美元*。

成为量化分析师是你的梦想吗?

    

通过EMLYON商学院的定量金融专业项目,获取科学、技术和金融技能,开始你在量化分析中的梦想职业生涯。这个为期12个月的全日制项目,由欧洲顶尖的商学院之一以全英文授课,旨在帮助拥有强大的数学、计算机科学、物理学等专业背景的毕业生,希望在量化金融领域开启职业生涯。

这个项目基于三个关键领域:对市场及其产品的认识,适用的计算技术的知识,以及这个领域相关的定量方法的知识。

从2016年9月开始,量化金融专业项目将在巴黎举行,这是欧洲领先的金融中心之一。在接受EMLYON商学院的常任教授、国际讲师和金融界排名靠前的专业人士的一学期课程后,你将完成一个为期六个月的实习,在法国或国外,将你的学术知识付诸实践,并在行业内获得实际经验。

"参加定量金融专业项目后,我被接受为法国农业信贷银行巴黎分行的助理交易员实习生,现在我在东京的BNP巴黎银行担任市场风险分析师的国际企业志愿者。没有定量金融专业项目,这对我来说是不可能的。" ——皮埃尔·马雷特,市场风险分析师 - BNP巴黎银行,东京(日本)。

QS World University Rankings by Subject 2016 – Coming Soon

Submitted by laura@qs.com on Fri, 03/11/2016 - 12:29

This year’s edition of the QS World University Rankings by Subject will be published on 22 March 2016, here on TopUniversities.com. With the addition of six new subjects this year, the rankings will now cover a total of 42 disciplines – highlighting the world’s top-performing universities in each academic area.

Aiming to help prospective students identify the leading universities in their chosen subject, the QS World University Rankings by Subject are compiled annually using data on research citations, combined with the results of major global surveys of academics and employers. Read more about the methodology here.

New subjects covered this year…

Six new subjects will be covered for the first time this year: anthropology, archaeology, mining engineering, nursing, performing arts and social policy. They join last year’s six newcomers, which were art and design, architecture, business and management, dentistry, development studies and veterinary science.

First published in 2011, the QS World University Rankings by Subject aims to help prospective students – especially those interested in studying internationally – identify the top universities in their chosen discipline. The rankings have been continually expanded over the past five years, with new tables added each year, and a growing number of universities ranked for subjects in which sufficient data is available.

High demand for subject-specific rankings

The popularity of the QS World University Rankings by Subject reflects strong global demand for subject-specific rankings. In the recent report How Do Students Use Rankings?, 78% of surveyed students reported finding subject-specific rankings more useful than overall rankings.

The report showed that prospective students value rankings primarily as a quick way to identify universities with the strongest reputations, creating a shortlist of institutions to research in more depth. Universities with a high ranking are typically perceived as leading to stronger employment prospects, with many students also believing higher-ranked institutions are likely to offer better research, teaching and facilities.

All 42 tables included in this year’s QS World University Rankings by Subject will be published here on 22 March 2016. The rankings can also be accessed by downloading the free QS World University Rankings app, available for iPhone and Android
