Banking with Financial Technology (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

The Banking with Financial Technology (with Foundation Year) is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as our three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for those wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.

A degree in Banking with Financial Technology focuses on developing strong analytical, statistical, programming and coding skills, with an in-depth, real-world understanding of financial institutions and the economics that underlies them.

Our Banking with Financial Technology (FinTech) BSc degree offers the opportunity to learn what is happening in the wider world, and the impact of the global financial system on individuals, organisations, markets, the wider economy and environment.
