How to apply

Finance as a field of study has strong roots in other scientific fields such as statistics and Mathematics. Modern financial theories, such as the Black Scholes model, draw heavily on the areas of physics, statistics and mathematics such as Brownian motion and stochastic calculus; their very creation would have been impossible if science hadn’t laid the initial groundwork.

Also, theoretical constructs such as the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) attempt to logically explain the behaviour of the stock market in an emotionless, completely scientific manner
