Message from the academic programme directors
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming financial markets, institutions, and decision-making processes, creating significant opportunities as well as new risks and challenges. As finance becomes increasingly data-driven and automated, there is growing demand for professionals who can understand AI technologies in depth, apply them thoughtfully within complex financial systems, capture emerging opportunities, and effectively manage associated risks.
The Master of Science in Technology and Design (AI and Technology in Finance) was developed to meet this need. The programme equips students with analytical frameworks from finance and economics, combined with practical training in AI and data analytics, enabling them to evaluate, design, and implement AI-enabled solutions in real financial contexts.
By offering a global perspective and hands-on learning experience, the programme aims to prepare graduates who are analytically capable, technologically fluent, and ready to lead innovation in an AI-driven financial industry.
