Course summary

Financial technology touches billions of transactions daily - from the payment app on your phone to the algorithms managing pension funds, from peer-to-peer lending platforms to AI-powered insurance claims. Behind each innovation are professionals who understand both the technology and its financial, regulatory, and ethical implications. Our MSc Financial Technology is a specialist degree that will prepare you to navigate and redefine this rapidly evolving landscape. There is demand for specialists who can implement blockchain payment systems while ensuring regulatory compliance, deploy AI in trading while managing algorithmic risk, build digital financial services while addressing cybersecurity threats. Our MSc Financial Technology is designed to develop exactly this breadth. Delivered jointly by Birmingham Business School, the School of Computer Science, and industry practitioners, you'll learn where finance and technology intersect - not as separate disciplines, but as integrated problem-solving. Join a small cohort on this competitive specialist programme, giving you the opportunity to work closely with academic and industry experts, and fellow students. You will have access to our state-of-the-art Bloomberg training suite where a range of trading techniques can be practised. Join hackathon events and real-time industry projects where you'll apply theory to practice to creating crowdfunding platforms, develop blockchain solutions to combat fraud, create algorithmic trading applications, and design financial services apps. Our Financial Technology Masters degree includes a wide variety of learning and teaching. Taught modules - these include lectures, laboratory workshops and seminars. Assessments - these will include a combination of case studies, participative exercises, interactive lectures, presentations, written exams and group projects. Individual Project - During the summer term, graduates collaborate with industry partners and supervisors to design and implement innovative industry solutions.
