Overview
Financial technology (abbreviated as FinTech) refers to a broad spectrum of technologies and innovations that are being used to improve and automate the delivery of financial services. The FinTech industry has grown explosively in the last decade, with the advances being made in cloud computing, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).
To meet surging demand for high quality FinTech talent in Singapore and globally, this new flagship graduate programme in FinTech is designed to help students build a strong foundation in computing and finance, and features a range of elective modules organised along three tracks: Computing Technologies, Financial Data Analytics and Intelligence, and Digital Financial Transactions and Risk Management.
The programme is intended primarily to help prepare graduates for challenging but rewarding careers as AI software developers, data scientists, FinTech security specialists, financial quantitative analysts and other similar professions in financial institutions or FinTech firms.
Why This Programme?
· Build a solid foundation in FinTech with a programme backed by NUS School of Computing and the NUS Business School, both of which are ranked among the best schools in their subject areas*.
· Optimise learning with a customisable curriculum; choose electives according to one of three tracks or based on personalised needs, and decide which capstone project option is a better fit—an academic research project conducted under the supervision of our accomplished faculty, or an internship with a FinTech company to gain practical industry experience.
· Prepare for a career in the fast-growing FinTech sector such as a Blockchain Developer, Financial Analyst or FinTech Product Specialist.

General requirements
The minimum requirement is that the candidate must possess a bachelor’s degree in a related discipline (computing, STEM, Finance, economics, or business).
Typical admitted candidates should possess:
- A bachelor’s degree in computing with high GPA/CAP; or
- A bachelor’s degree in a related discipline (STEM, Finance, economics, or business) with high GPA and 2 years of FinTech or IT industry experience.
- A good bachelor's degree in computing with strong FinTech or IT project or work experience.
Work experiences in FinTech, AI, or Data Analytics will be advantageous but are not required. Since a large proportion of our curriculum involves programming, non-computing students must provide sufficient evidence of python programming knowledge and/or evidence of learning advanced quantitative subjects. Exceptional students who do not meet the above requirements may still be considered.
