Our postgraduate programmes, at the intersection of finance, data science and technology, innovation and regulations, are interdisciplinary and world leading. Each is specifically designed as a response to the talent gap prompted by the increased application of innovative technological tools to the delivery of financial services.

To varying degrees, students can develop deep theoretical and practical understanding of the economic, technological and regulatory processes generating big financial and economic data in a modern economy, as well as the data science and technical skills to utilise them for the formation of innovative solutions and products.
