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. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Students must attain a 2:2 (or overseas equivalent) in an undergraduate degree that has included a range of modules in accounting/finance or quantitative/statistical methods. This need not necessarily be a degree with accounting or finance in the title. 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.
Non-native English speakers must achieve an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no component less than 5.5. A list of equivalent tests is provided here. If you have studied an undergraduate degree taught through the medium of English, you may be exempt from this requirement – click here for further information.
For students who fall short of only the English language requirement, we offer a range of Pre-Master's training programmes that you may take before starting your Master's qualification. |
