BSc (Hons) Economics (pathway FinTech)

... United Kingdom
... University of East London

Course Overview

The future of financial transactions, applications and management of finances is expected to be impacted heavily by fintech. We have already started to see the application of fintech e.g. cryptocurrency, crowdfunding, and mobile payment systems in the business world and the economy at large. As such, it is important for future graduates to understand the trends and innovations in the financial industry. Students choosing this pathway will have a good grasp of not only the foundations and applications of fintech but also of the strategic implementation of fintech in the business world and the economy at large.

The extended course is perfect if you want a degree in economics but you don't meet the standard entry requirements.
