Our Fintech and Data Analysis MBA course features seven core modules.

You’ll explore how FinTech has already transformed how we do business, look at current trends and where FinTech is going next, and learn how to use Python to solve financial problems.

You’ll develop an understanding of the source and structure of Big Data, and the tools used to generate predictive analytics. You’ll also practice financial modelling and business forecasting using linear and non-linear financial methods.

You’ll learn about the main themes and principles of marketing, how they apply in a variety of business contexts, and the marketing challenges currently faced by brands and organisations. You’ll also find out how to use strategic analysis and formulation to drive performance.

You’ll discover classical and contemporary theories of leadership, learn about change management, and develop your own leadership style.

Finally, you’ll carry out a substantial individual research project on a relevant topic of your choice under the supervision of an appropriate member of academic staff.

Modules are subject to change and availability.

Assessment will take a variety of forms that reflect the innovative and varied nature of FinTech.

FinTech is a rapidly evolving field that values adaptive and innovative individuals who aren’t afraid to take the initiative and disrupt the status quo.

Depending on your interests, as a FinTech and Data Analysis MBA graduate you could find yourself working for an online payment system, peer-to-peer lending or crowdfunding platform, online stockbroker, or robo-advisory service for individual investors, to name just a few examples.
