Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field involving financial theory, the methods of engineering, the tools of mathematics and the practice of programming. The field has emerged as the result of the ever growing complexity required in describing and solving these business problems whose resolution requires knowledge of economic principles and finance theory coupled with state-of-the-art mathematical methods, computational tools, and computer programming skills.

The Financial Engineering Program at Iranians University provides full-time training in the application of engineering methodologies and quantitative methods to finance. It is designed for students who wish to obtain positions in the securities, banking, and financial management and consulting industries, or as quantitative analysts in corporate treasury and finance departments of general manufacturing and service firms.
