The University of Wollongong India (UOW India) has opened applications for its Master of Financial Technology, Master of Financial Technology (Extension), and a Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology programs that will begin teaching in November 2024.
The FinTech programs that will be offered at UOW India’s GIFT City campus will enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the FinTech industry in a world-class campus setting.
UOW India's FinTech courses will equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience needed for success in finance and the emerging field of Financial Technology.
The Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology is a short program focused on cutting-edge developments in Financial Technology, helping students develop a strong understanding of how technology is being applied in a range of domains such as banking and insurance.
The Master of Financial Technology and Extension programs are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the industry and its impact on the global economy.
