About this course

The Master of Financial Technologies (Advanced) will provide students with specialised and applied knowledge in the management of financial services organisations and the application of emerging technologies and strong research skills. Graduates will be well placed for roles as project managers and strategy managers in financial service firms and FinTec start-ups; project manager and senior consultant roles in consulting and technology firms servicing financial institutions. Knowledge gained will enable managers with prior experience and qualifications to move into management roles (e.g. Finance, Marketing, Administration, Operations) in incumbent financial service companies and start-ups. The advanced research component positions students to progress to a PhD.

This course is for working professionals. That's why we offer it in Intensive Mode. It's an efficient and faster way to complete a postgraduate qualification with minimal impact on your professional and personal life. Units (subjects) are either delivered after work hours or on Fridays or Saturdays, and run throughout the year in six week teaching periods instead of the usual 12 week semesters. This means you can complete more units and graduate faster, or take breaks when you need to.

Students are unable to enrol directly into the Graduate Diploma of Financial Technologies however it is available as an exit award.
