Universities therefore aligned their programmes to the need of the market and started developing masters focusing on financial technology. A master in Fintech is a one or two-year programme, equipping students with the skills and knowledge to start their career in financial technology. Students will learn about disruptive financial innovations and emerging business models using appropriate tools and techniques.
