The Master of Financial Technology Extension is aimed at students aspiring to pursue a career within the growing FinTech field covering the impact of technology and its impact on banking and the global payment systems, the insurance industry and trading in financial markets.

Throughout the degree you will learn through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to modern technological developments in the financial sector. You will undertake subjects in data programming, information visualisation and machine learning, explore case studies, engage with industry partners and apply your knowledge in a FinTech research project.

The Master of Financial Technology Extension degree allows students to gain a deeper and broader understanding in FinTech with opportunities to undertake additional electives and learn about web development, system analysis and project management.
