About this degree
As a student of our Venture Capital and Private Equity with Financial Technology MSc, you will cover the most innovative aspects of start-up activities and FinTech in order to analyse how timing, governance, value creation, competitive dynamics, alternative business models, and performance management can determine the scale-up, growth, and success of companies.
Who this course is for
We encourage applications from prospective students with a background in an appropriate subject such as finance, computer science, mathematics, economics or other quantitative disciplines. Relevant work experience in the finance industry is highly recommended but not essential. This includes (but is not limited to) experience as an analyst, risk or portfolio manager, trader, or as a business entrepreneur.
What this course will give you
The past decade has seen a dramatic growth of start-up ecosystems and huge shifts across the world of business, particularly as new technologies have disrupted more traditional approaches. With this comes a growing demand for Private Equity and Venture Capital – a new class of investors that help businesses at every stage of their existence. Our Master’s programme is the first in the world to match the emerging field of Financial Technology with the study of Private Capital, bridging the gap between finance, technology and the new business models. We give students a unique opportunity to example how business models are impacted and driven by information and communication technology and the role of private capital to assist and fully implement their potential.
London is the global centre of venture capital. As such, 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.
