Finance and Financial Technology with Placement Year

"Explore the fundamentals of finance and the rapidly evolving industry known as Financial Technology (FinTech). This 4-year programme will put you at the forefront of research and development within this sector, allowing you to gain the skills necessary to pursue a wide range of careers.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Develop an in-depth understanding of the business environment and the real-world application of relevant theories that underpin finance.

• Utilise our Financial Laboratory (FinLab), home to our Bloomberg terminals and Refinitiv Workspace.

• Learn the basics of computer programming, and become a confident user of statistical software, such as Eviews, Stata, and Matlab, and more advance machine learning and AI techniques.

• Understand the foundations of Financial Technology, and the most recent innovations in this area.

• Develop a high level of numeracy and a capacity for reasoned thought and analysis.

• Spend a year on a paid industrial placement in the third year and be supported throughout by our award-winning placements team.

We also offer a variant of this course with a study abroad year instead of a placement year."
