Overview
If you are weighing up Financial Technology BSc, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Financial Technology is built around applied projects with real firms rather than lectures alone. We currently work with 36 universities on this course across 28 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
