The Master of Science in Financial Technology (90 ECTS, Level 9) is an innovative program designed to equip students with cutting-edge skills in FinTech. The convergence of finance and technology has sparked one of the fastest and most significant transformations in industry skill demands in modern history. This evolution necessitates that both current and aspiring financial services professionals cultivate expertise across finance, technology, regulatory frameworks, and data science to thrive in this dynamic sector.

To earn the MSc in Financial Technology, students must successfully complete nine mandatory modules (ranging from 4 to 10 ECTS each) and select one capstone option: an Applied Research Project, Dissertation, or Placement, all worth 30 ECTS.
