Introduction
FinTech is a disruptive juggernaut – one that is fundamentally changing everything from how we bank and invest to how we buy insurance. It is even redefining how we pay for everyday goods and services.
Despite the transformational impact FinTech has already had, the rapid development of machine learning, data analytics, and blockchain technology is rewriting what is possible. These technologies will soon revolutionize how we approach credit and risk management, identity protection, data security, and portfolio allocation.
What You Will Gain
The FinTech master’s program is designed to give you a range of practical skills and also the entrepreneurial mindset needed to drive the disruption. We use a combination of face-to-face workshops, group activities, and hands-on exercises to cover everything from FinTech basics to the job-specific skills demanded by such roles as:
- Payment specialists
- Peer-to-peer lenders
- AI and robot advisors
- Regular technologies
- Crowdfunding
- Cybersecurity
- Blockchain
To enhance your learning, the program includes an opportunity to get real-world experience by working in an actual FinTech company. During your internship, you will apply your new skills and knowledge towards creating new products and services, even help bringing them to market.
Admissions
Curriculum
How is the Programme Structured?
All EIT Digital Master School programmes follow the same scheme:
- Students study one year at an ‘entry’ university and one year at an ‘exit’ university, both of which are located at an EIT Digital hot spot.
- The first year is similar at all entry points, with a focus on basic courses that lay the foundation for the chosen technical programme. Students are also introduced to business and management during this first year. During the second semester, a design project is combined with business development exercises to demonstrate how technology can be transformed into a successful business. Students are also taught how to prepare and present a convincing business plan. Students have the option to take elective courses.
- In between the first year and the second year, our summer school programme addresses business opportunities within a socially relevant theme.
- The second year offers a specialisation and a graduation project. The graduation project includes an internship at a company or a research institute and cumulates with a Master thesis having a strong innovation and entrepreneurship dimension.
- Graduates receive degrees from the two universities and a certificate awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
