Course Summary

This programme focuses on three key pillars: venture capital private markets and FinTech start-ups. These three financial pillars are studied in combination with comparisons and links drawn between them throughout the programme. The combination and contributions of these pillars will allow you to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this financial field. As a student of our Venture Capital and Private Equity with Financial Technology MSc, you will cover the most innovative aspects of start-up activities and FinTech in order to analyse how timing, governance, value creation, competitive dynamics, alternative business models, and performance management can determine the scale-up, growth, and success of companies. We encourage applications from prospective students with a background in an appropriate subject such as finance, computer science, mathematics, economics or other quantitative disciplines. Relevant work experience in the finance industry is highly recommended but not essential. This includes (but is not limited to) experience as an analyst, risk or portfolio manager, trader, or as a business entrepreneur.
