Why you should study this course

Industry-standard technology

Technical competence is an intrinsic requirement of a career in FinTech, which is why we've embedded technological elements into every module. You'll receive exposure to widely used financial analysis software4, including Bloomberg Terminals, S&P Capital IQ, STATA and Python, and will have access to economic and financial database services like Kaggle, Quantopian and Yahoo Finance.

London location

Study in the Square Mile, the heart of London’s financial district where you’ll be in close proximity to the Silicon Roundabout and some of the biggest FinTech companies in the UK. You’ll study on the doorstep of the industry, with potential opportunities for placements/employment2, and the chance to continue your development with FinTech employers.

Industry insight

This is a professionally focused course which has been devised to provide a hands-on approach where students have the opportunity to develop end-to-end industry-like projects. You’ll be taught by experienced academics with sound FinTech knowledge, who are qualified academically and professionally (please note staff may be subject to change).

Real-world experience

To help you prepare for the fast-paced but exhilarating world of FinTech, the course includes real-life scenarios that will put your creative and problem solving abilities to the test. You may decide to apply for our FinTech MSc course with Extended Professional Practice. This is an 18-month option and is aimed at individuals who are looking to attain a deeper understanding of business in a very practical way. You are expected to spend twenty-two weeks at one (or more) host employer or campus-based setting(s) and will have the opportunity to apply theory to practice. Find out more about our Extended Professional Practice study option.

Prepare for your future

Potential opportunity for talks by experts which in the past have been from academia, the FinTech sector and the real world of entrepreneurship and have covered areas such as finance, technology, big data and leadership which have inspired and offered students networking opportunities within the comminuity2.

Immerse yourself in Coventry University London's global community and emerge as a talented, career-ready graduate with an international outlook.

Most of the financial courses teach you the same things over and over, whereas FinTech is different from other financial courses. My expectations were to grab the basics of technology and to know more about the sector as it successfully challenged the institutions which have been here for more than 100 years.

What you'll study

Your main study themes are:

  • Research inspired teaching

Opportunities to become involved in research (for example, a group projects linked to a current research question; research-led seminars; applied case studies). Research skills and understanding is a developmental activity that will both support you throughout the course and transform your approach to problem-solving. You are encouraged to access current research and move towards greater independent learning.

  • Embedded employability

You will extend your knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes through professional practice. The course is designed to improve your individual, collaborative, and professional skills and attributes. You will seek to improve your flexibility and adeptness to succeed across a range of employment futures. You will aim to enhance your employability skills by applying conceptual knowledge to real organisations and contemporary issues, carrying out independent study and synthesising conceptual understanding within a range of complex situations. You will look to develop a sound judgement, personal responsibility and initiative in complex and unpredictable professional environments, and engage in networking and collaborating with industry and commercial sectors2.

  • Creativity and enterprise

Creative learning activities will foster your creativity, critical enquiry, reflective practice and understanding of the tools to independently manage your own continuous learning. You will be expected to demonstrate originality and self-direction in your application of relevant knowledge to new and complex situations.

  • Intercultural and international engagement

You will find an emphasis on intercultural engagement and group working that will foster intercultural competency, strong sense of local, national and global community, and awareness and respect of intercultural values, languages and belief systems.

  • Community contribution and responsibility

You will exhibit an awareness of sustainability and well-being issues, and the need to adopt responsible and ethical practices.

  • Innovation and digital fluency

You will engage with new technologies, teaching aids and software innovations, increasing your innovative practices and exposure to the latest learning technologies available. You will rely on technologies to support innovation in learning, and to critically evaluate sources of information and apply these in complex and unpredictable situations. You will look to attain a significant level of digital fluency that you can apply in your professional practice.

  • Originality, independent learning and critical thinking

You will be expected to show originality in the application of knowledge. Critical thinking is a meta-skill – that is, a skill that subsumes and enhances many other skills that competent professionals possess. You will seek to develop positive and critical attitudes towards leadership, recognising when to challenge the status quo, developing a new form of ‘learning how to learn’, enabling you to take greater control of your own learning. You will be at the centre of your own learning, you should become confident in sourcing and filtering information, prioritising activities and demonstrating creative problem solving skills, developing a questioning approach to ideas and independence of thought. .

The course follows a sequential learning progression while providing a hands-on approach where you will have the opportunity to develop end-to-end industry-like projects. The first semester mandatory modules provide you with a systematic understanding of financial, technological, analytical and regulatory concepts. This is designed to give you an in-depth knowledge of financial services and problem-solving analytical methods used in the industry within the broader context of data science application in FinTech.

The second semester extends these core skills: you will continue progressing through “learning by doing” in a number of practice-enhanced modules that focus on FinTech strategy and entrepreneurship, current AI technologies and data science, and research.

Final semester project modules provide scope for a deeper level of knowledge and application of FinTech principles through the Dissertation, Internship2 or FinTech Simulation Project modules.

Where our graduates work

Previous graduates of our MSc Financial Technology course have gone on to work at Barclays, Ribbon and CFTE to name a few.

Further study

As part of the journey of professional and role development, students are encouraged to continue on their academic journey through access to a range of higher degrees, including PhD and other taught doctorates.

The course has really been insightful, I remember going "oh wow I did not know that" on so many occasions during my studies. The basic idea I had about what FinTech is was replaced by an extensive overview in the first term and then an even more focused perspective into the technological aspects in the second. I have been able to think and be analytical in ways my technical colleagues are not able to and vice versa, and it has been a refreshing experience learning from these different viewpoints and working together to improve ourselves.
