The fields of banking and finance are transforming and innovating with new blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing that power the online experience for customers.

Fintech Master's degree programs offer future leaders in the industry an opportunity to learn these emerging technologies through project-based learning. Students who graduate with a master's degree in fintech can pursue careers in investment banking systems development, corporate treasury management, or corporate financial analytics across many Fortune 500 companies.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
