Course summary
The Banking with Financial Technology (with Foundation Year) is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as our three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for those wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.
The Foundation Year (Year 0) offers you the chance to expand and strengthen your confidence, skills and knowledge – ensuring that you are well-prepared and qualified to progress into Year 1 of the undergraduate degree.
By taking a degree in Banking with Financial Technology (FinTech), you will develop a broad understanding of business organisations. You will learn how businesses develop strategies, make decisions, organise their internal resources, and manage risk and uncertainty.
Our Banking with Financial Technology (FinTech) BSc degree offeres the opportunity to study banking and financial technology within a real-world context, developing strong analytical skills and a career-relevant qualification. The programme included a focus on the practical workings of financial institutions, as well as the economics that underlies them. The financial technology component provided the opportunity for students to develop valuable analytical, statistical and coding skills.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
