Financial Technology (FinTech), MSc

Disruptive technologies are affecting all areas of financial services and to ensure you are equipped with the skills to progress in this area, the MSc Financial Technology (FinTech) programme has been developed, aimed at non-computer science specialist graduates who have a first degree in business, finance, mathematics or economics and want to gain greater awareness and skills in the Fintech area. This programme will examine applications of financial technology in banking, insurance, asset management and many other finance sectors. You will gain cutting-edge knowledge on finance applications of blockchain technology, digital currencies, Big Data and artificial intelligence. You will also acquire an in-depth understanding of the financial technology environment, develop skills in programming, machine learning and network security as well as knowledge of financial markets institutions and systems.

Students must attain a 2:2 (or overseas equivalent) in a Business, Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or Computer Science undergraduate degree. We would also be willing to consider those with other backgrounds and work experience in the sector. We consider all applications on their merits and will look at each individual case before making an offer so students who fall slightly short of the entry criteria should still apply to the School of Management.
