Banking with Financial Technology (with Foundation Year)

The Banking with Financial Technology (with Foundation Year) is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as our three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for those wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications. The Foundation Year (Year 0) offers you the chance to expand and strengthen your confidence, skills and knowledge – ensuring that you are well-prepared and qualified to progress into Year 1 of the Banking with Financial Technology degree programme. A degree in Banking with Financial Technology focuses on developing strong analytical, statistical, programming and coding skills, with an in-depth, real-world understanding of financial institutions and the economics that underlies them. Our Banking with Financial Technology (FinTech) BSc degree offers the opportunity to learn what is happening in the wider world, and the impact of the global financial system on individuals, organisations, markets, the wider economy and environment. You can explore fintech innovations like high frequency trading or cryptocurrency and develop skills using industry-standard financial tools. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time.
