Modern finance is complex, integrated and dynamic. To work in this challenging arena, financiers must master various skills to maximise capital, while successfully quantifying risk and responding to its implications.

The Banking & Fintech pathway focuses on financial innovation and Fintech, with particular emphasis on the impact of technological disruptions in the banking sector. This pathway will teach you how to critically examine and analyse the purpose, principles and fundamental concepts of today’s financial innovation and Fintech sector.

You’ll cover concepts such as financial innovation, cryptocurrency, cognitive computing, big data, the digital investment space and risk management in banking. The combination of formal learning and practical application will train you to become a financial player that can not only evaluate the risks of these concepts but also foresee and avoid the future threats to the industry.

The programme offers the rigorous academic training and applied insights required to meet the challenges of today’s financial markets. The structure has been specially designed to appeal to both students of financial and non-financial backgrounds.

You will become proficient in investing, managing and maximising capital and wealth. You will also learn how to deal with risks and understand the regulatory framework of the financial services.  

You will examine market mechanisms, and learn how the international financial markets work, including how capital is raised and financial securities and commodities are priced. You will also develop solid quantitative and analytical skills.

Classes are designed to simulate a real-life experience of the financial industry. You will benefit from hands-on training, including access to the University’s Thomson Reuters Eikon Terminals, Bloomberg L.P Terminals, Datastream including Worldscope databases and a dedicated trading room.

This programme has a global focus. As well as developing your understanding of finance and investment, you will learn how to apply them at a global level with the appreciation of ethical implications.
