Digital technology and finance have been inextricably linked for decades, but we are entering a new era. Technologies like machine learning, data analytics, biometrics or blockchain are creating new possibilities to address credit and risk management, identity management, information security, secure payments or portfolio management.
The new Fintech programme is designed to provide graduates with a holistic skill set, a cross-functional perspective and an entrepreneurial mindset that will enable them to lead organisations in this new paradigm. They will not only be able to imagine these new technology applications, but to develop them and bring them to market.
This program is recommended to applicants who already have a BSc degree in Computer Science and would like to expand their opportunities in the field of above mentioned areas. Kindly note that relevant work experience can compensate a non-strictly matching bachelor's degree. Please justify your work experience in your motivation letter or resume. Once your papers are received, the selection committee will make the final decision on whether your bachelors and work experience are enough as prerequisites for the track you have applied for.
The EIT Digital Master School is a flagship education on advanced level provided by leading European universities and IT companies. It offers a two-year education in which you can choose two universities in two different European countries with a double degree at the end. This means that two leading universities’ technical competence and skills are together in this program, join forces to offer a competitive education.
Next to the strong technical background, provides Innovation and Entrepreneurship education in 25% of the program, which means that students gain knowledge about how industry works and how research results can be turned into service or product, even before they graduate. The program also includes a 4-month internship to be done at one of the EIT Digital partner companies, where students can experience world changing innovations from first hand.
As a key factor for success, EIT Digital also provides great networking opportunities with its kick-off, summer school and graduation events to those, who are interested in establishing their own business.
