Course Description

The finance landscape is rapidly transforming with a focus on digital, code-driven, and data-centric approaches, emphasising technologies like novel payment systems, distributed ledger tech, blockchains, digital currencies, AI, metaverse, and smart banking. Our MSc in Digital Finance and Data Analytics covers traditional financial markets, international financial institutions, AI, machine learning, blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and digital assets. The program delves into financial regulation, Fintech sector growth, and enhances skills in coding, big data, and econometrics. The course culminates in a hands-on consultancy project, allowing application of acquired knowledge to real-world financial data.

Finally, at the end of the course, you'll complete a hands-on consultancy project, giving you a fantastic opportunity to use the theories and knowledge you've gained to produce a meaningful piece of work.
