Short Description

The Financial Technology (FinTech) programme aims at providing students with essential knowledge to apply new technology, especially information technology and data science techniques, to a variety of financial services. After four years of all-round education, students are expected to be able to derive and develop financial and managerial insights from big data, design and engineer innovative solutions to meet financial service needs, optimize financial decisions in complex business environments, and understand and analyze the social, economic, security, and legal impact of their solutions. Students admitted by the FinTech programme can also apply for the double major programme in FinTech and IBBA as well as the dual degree programme in FinTech and Financial Mathematics.
