MSc FinTech with Industrial Placement

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

Are you numerical, data-driven and interested in new and innovative technology? Do you want to gain vital work experience as you study?

Fintech is changing the financial world – from Cryptocurrency, coding and artificial intelligence to smartphone use in banking and investments. Simply put, Fintech is the technology that works with financial exchanges. Employment roles in the field include being a cybersecurity analyst, an AI and Machine Learning Engineer or financial software and app developer.

Our brand-new MSc FinTech course has been developed jointly by industry leaders and academic experts and sets out to prepare graduates with a strong background in financial theory and an integral understanding of the latest innovative technologies imperative in the sector. Further, our Bloomberg Finance Lab allows students to apply their learnings to real business data.

Taking a 12-month industrial placement allows you to gain work experience in the UK or overseas as part of your Master’s. While the placements are self-sought, the School offers support through extra-curricular engagement with our dedicated placements team. Opting for this course with a placement takes the length of your course to up to two years.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a second-class UK degree, or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in areas such as the sciences, engineering, computing, maths, finance and/or business. Quants/programming based background is required.
