MSc Financial Technology

Blockchains. Bitcoins. Cryptocurrencies. These are no longer foreign terminologies in financial parlance. Financial Technology (fintech) has disrupted the traditional banking model, and is inseparable from investments, venture capital, start-ups and an array of consumer financial services. From mobile transactions to peer-to-peer lending, the integration of big data and machine learning into financial services has prompted the need for more experts adept at both technology and finance.

Unlock the secrets behind fintech’s evolution in this master’s programme, centred around six substantive core modules covering areas such as cryptocurrencies, Python programming for back-test trading strategies, in addition to data analytics and machine learning in fintech application. You will also benefit from one-to-one support for your dissertation in the summer, with the option to work on a financial technology topic or undertake a company-based dissertation.
