What this course will give you
Global demand is growing for financial managers to be capable of dealing with the interaction between finance and new technologies (FinTech). Our Banking and Digital Finance MSc is a specialist Master's degree designed to address the demands of the next era of technology-led financial services. It is aimed at those already in, or targeting, technology-led finance and banking careers. The Institute of Finance & Technology developed this MSc in liaison with industry, government and other influential bodies, including BlackRock, HSBC, European Investment Bank, London Stock Exchange Group, KPMG, Bank of England, HM Treasury, World Bank and IMF.
Finance is going through major changes due to disruptive innovations which have developed and accelerated the next era of technology-led financial services. The view of industry is often that universities have not kept pace with the continuous innovations taking place in the finance sector. We are pioneering a change. This programme gives you the opportunity to receive first-hand access to industry experts. We utilise industrial professors who will deliver teaching alongside academic staff. This programme will also make use of case studies to support the application of theory to real-life industry examples. Through this approach you will be able to identify opportunities and challenges in rapidly changing global markets.
The challenges and opportunities posed by new technologies call for unique approaches and cross-discipline analyses. The Institute of Finance & Technology is built around a vision of finance at the service of major societal challenges. New financial models, embedding technical, environmental and social aspects within financial mechanisms, will be developed by experts in their fields who will pass on this new understanding to future global leaders through our Banking and Digital Finance MSc.
