I myself am into it. However, most universities doesn't offer you a specialized course of Financial Risk management at undergraduate level. They do at postgraduate level. This is good as being 'diversified' at undergraduate level allows you to specialize in financial risk management modules in your 3rd year of study, as well as other business management related modules in first and second year.

1st question: I did not understand the question. Could you please rephrase it?

2nd question: Financial risk management is related to managing risks in investment or trading portfolios. If you're talking about job prospects, yes, its good. The degrees will often offer you a professional placement in the 4th year itself.

If you want to be a successful trader/hedger in the stock/commodities market, then yes, this is a very good field of study.

Overall, it depends on what you want to do.

Characteristics: Maths is necessary if you are going for entry at undergrad level. You can take it at A level or do a foundation course at university, whichever is appropriate. Check university requirements.

Study for a maths degree to get into this. Then get an mba for starting salary of £100000. One of my students is doing his mba now.
