Financial technology (FinTech) is growing exponentially and is transforming the future of business. Built on the intersection of finance and information technology, graduates with skills and knowledge in this area are in demand, helping to identify new opportunities for disrupting markets and driving positive change.
This degree is aimed at students seeking to upgrade existing finance skills or those aspiring to pursue a career within this growing field. Throughout this degree, you will learn to consider the impact of technology on banking and global payment systems, the insurance industry and trading in financial markets.
Explore how blockchain technology facilitates more transparent, efficient and secure transactions by examining digital currencies, smart contracts, tokenisation of assets and decentralised finance.
Upon successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology, students may progress into a Master of Financial Technology and be eligible for credit for the four subjects completed within the graduate certificate. Progression into other master’s programs, including the Master of Applied Finance may also be possible.
Graduates of a UOW financial technology degree may wish to pursue a career as an economist, finance manager, analyst programmer or utilise their digital financial literacy skills to enter the FinTech start-up space.
