What is Financial Technology?

The BASc(FinTech) degree programme, which is hosted by the Department of Computer Science,
is one of the six BASc programmes that aim at nurturing future leaders with interdisciplinary
knowledge and skills to address the contemporary and future challenges of the ever-changing world.

The main objective of the programme is to nurture financial technologists and entrepreneurs
with essential knowledge in finance, technology, and regulations for taking up a leadership role
in innovation and applications of Financial Technology. The programme combines subjects on
computing, finance, and policies and regulations to give students a thorough grounding in the
FinTech discipline. Besides discipline focus courses, students are required to take three crossdisciplinary
courses that focus on leadership training, the foundation of knowledge, and data
analysis. Moreover, there will be internship opportunities for students to put theory into practice.
