The MSc in Financial Technology and Systems will help you to develop technical and analytical skills that are needed to support the next generation open banking platform design, risk assessment, implementation, and commercialisation. This MSc is the only course whereby students are provided in-depth technical knowledge about the building blocks of fintech at a system level.


This programme is delivered in partnership with academics from Bayes Business School and gives a first-hand experience on using the Bloomberg Trading Terminals whereby student teams compete with an allocated capital to invest in crypto stocks.


In addition the programme allows you to work closely with some of the fintech organisations such as the Lloyds Banking Group, Allica Bank, Thirdfort, EarthID, MoneyHop and many others to co-create an innovative fintech product that will be disruptive in the marketplace.


There is an optional experience to work with one of the fintech players in the UK or elsewhere. Interested students will share their CV with the Corporate Relations and Employability Unit (CREU) who will liaise with the prospective fintech partner to identify the suitable candidate based on the skills / talent requirements of the organisation.
