Financial Technology (Bahrain) (MSc)

Strathclyde Business School has been at the forefront of the innovative and ground-breaking FinTech movement for a sustainable transformation of global finance for the better. It has successfully pioneered the UK's first FinTech Masters (2017) and the first Fintech Masters in the Bahrain region (2019).

Working alongside its local partner, Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) the MSc Financial Technology (FinTech), is fully delivered in Bahrain on a part-time basis.

This Masters degree will bolster Bahrain's position as a leading FinTech hub in the region, and offer ambitious individuals the opportunity to gain a cutting edge qualification, delivered by Strathclyde academics, without having to take a year out to complete studies.

The intensive two year programme will offer students a rigorous core academic curriculum combined with the entrepreneurial and innovative elements of the "FinTech Revolution". It includes a selection of financial methods, programming, data analytics and regulations and technology, with a particular emphasis on how these different subject areas come together to create new financial services and products.

FinTech is a multi-disciplinary area, so the MSc Financial Technology Bahrain draws upon the breadth of expertise available not only in Strathclyde Business School via its departments of Accounting & Finance and Management Science, but also from the University of Strathclyde's Faculty of Science, with a significant input from the highly acclaimed Department of Computer and Information Sciences.
