Accounting and Finance (FinTech) (with Foundation Year)

Accounting and finance with fintech are practical, career-focused subjects. Our learning methods reflect the tasks you’ll be expected to carry out in the workforce.

The future of financial transactions, applications and management of finances is expected to be impacted heavily by fintech. The course will enable you to understand the trends and innovations in the financial industry. We have already started to see the application of fintech e.g. cryptocurrency, crowdfunding, mobile payment systems. Therefore, studying this pathway will help you to have a good grasp of not only the foundations and applications of fintech but also on the strategic implementation of fintech.

It is important to note that the curriculum does not include the technology, coding or programming involved in fintech but the strategic management of technology.

The four year course is perfect if you want a degree in accounting and finance with fintech, but you don’t have the standard qualifications.
