Banking with Financial Technology (FinTech) BSc (Hons)

Financial technology (or FinTech) is a significant growth area that promises to revolutionise the delivery and use of financial services. Given the importance of the financial sector to the UK economy, the UK government has stated its ambition to make the UK a global capital for FinTech. Banking is one of the most important sectors of an economy. As a primary source of funds for both corporations and households, banks also play a major role in securities issuance, underwriting and arranging, and other advisory based business including mergers and acquisitions. Developments, such as, globalisation, technological innovation, deregulation and increasing international integration have transformed the ways banks carry out their business as well as helping to make the sector more competitive.<br/><br/>Our Banking with Financial Technology (FinTech) BSc degree offeres the opportunity to study banking and financial technology within a real-world context, developing strong analytical skills and a career-relevant qualification.
