MSc Financial Technology with Data Science
University of Bristol
United Kingdom
Overview
This MSc provides a gateway to the financial technology revolution. It offers an opportunity to gain insights into the design of various financial technology applications, develop skills to implement and assess them, and engineer these innovations. You will also explore the computational, statistical, and machine learning principles necessary for effective large-scale data analysis for data-driven finance. Recent financial and technological advances have revolutionized how we spend, save, borrow, and invest, from crowdfunding to cryptocurrencies and automated trading to Alipay. Companies in the financial services sector can access data to provide customized products and services, while big tech corporations offer financial services through social media accounts. Disruptive technology start-ups have rapidly scaled to challenge the dominance of traditional banks, developing new forms of finance from the ground up.
This postgraduate degree is ideal for applicants with a strong computer science, engineering, or numerate science background. It is hosted by a world-renowned engineering faculty and has a technology focus, rather than the finance or accounting programs generally offered by business schools. The UK is a renowned hub for financial technology, and the Bristol region has a thriving fintech ecosystem. This program has been co-created in collaboration with industrial partners, allowing students to work on real-world projects.
