The University of Wollongong India (UOW India) today, July 3, has opened the applications for its programmes starting in November 2024. UOW is now accepting applications for the master of financial technology, master of financial technology (extension) and a graduate certificate in financial technology programmes.
The FinTech programmes that will be offered at UOW India’s GIFT City campus will enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the FinTech industry in a world-class campus setting, a university statement issued in this regard said.
UOW India’s FinTech programmes seek to equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience needed for success in finance and the emerging field of financial technology.
The graduate certificate in financial technology is a short programme focused on cutting-edge developments in Financial Technology, helping students develop a strong understanding of how technology is being applied in a range of domains such as banking and insurance.
The master of financial technology and extension programmes are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the industry and its impact on the global economy.
Students enrolling in the programmes will also have the opportunity to participate in work-integrated learning programmes, that will include both internships and non-internship opportunities, including faculty integrating industry-identified challenges into classroom experiences. Students will gain hands-on experience, applying classroom knowledge to practical and real-life business scenarios.
UOW India Campus Director Nimay Kalyani said the opening of the FinTech programmes will provide students with career options in the areas of blockchain technology, digital payments, data analytics, financial advisory and machine learning.
“We are excited to open FinTech applications to students as we get closer to the opening of our campus in GIFT City, India’s leading global financial and technology hub,” Kalyani said.
“Our mission to deliver world-class education in India complements the experience and expertise of our industry experts and highly experienced faculty members involved in delivering the programs. When the GIFT City campus opens in July this year, UOW India will be the 3rd highest ranked university in India and will be in the top 1 per cent universities in the world, ranking equal 167th in the latest QS World Rankings,” he added.
