MA/MS in Financial Technology

The Master in Financial Technology at the University of Bahrain introduces students to fast-moving innovations such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, and to how technology is reshaping the design and management of financial products and services. The program takes a deliberately interdisciplinary approach, combining technology coursework with finance, economics, data science, cybersecurity, and ethics. Key subject areas include corporate finance, investment and portfolio management, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, financial analytics, and big data, with an expectation that students carry out independent research into real financial problems. The program also builds awareness of the ethical, regulatory, and sustainability questions that come with adopting financial technology at scale, alongside the professional communication skills needed to work in the sector.
