Financial Technology (FinTech) Specialisation

Financial technology (FinTech) is a rapidly growing field in finance where technology is used to create, enhance, and sometimes disrupt financial services. Think: peer-to-peer lending, robo-advice, and decentralised finance like Bitcoin.

Why study FinTech?

In the past few years, financial technology has been a hot topic at industry conferences both in Australia and worldwide. This major will get you in on the ground floor of this rapidly evolving area. When you study FinTech, you’ll learn about these innovative technologies, as you also also learn the foundations of problem-solving for business success – setting you up with a set of skills that you can adapt in diverse roles and industries.

Choose from 21 specialisations to bridge the knowledge and skills gap between information technology and business. With this double degree, you'll be able to approach problems with innovative solutions by harnessing your business acumen and IT expertise to maximise social impact.

The Master of Information Technology/Master of Commerce is the first of its kind and was designed by two leaders in their field of education, UNSW Engineering and UNSW Business School, and in consultation with industry and employers and most importantly, you. Break the mould with a skill set unique to your interests and position yourself to lead organisations through digital transformation.

This degree is ideal for people with very specific or niche interests as there are 21 specialisations to choose from. Combine two specialisations plus unique experiences at UNSW to become a changemaker and influencer of the new digital age.

UNSW’s Bachelor of Commerce/Arts is a double degree that will equip you with business experience and expertise, combined with the creativity, analytical and critical thinking skills that come with an arts degree. Both degrees offer flexibility, allowing you to shape your degree to match your ambitions and interests.

The Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) has been designed with consultation from industry to set you up for lifelong employability. By combining your BCom with a Bachelor of Arts, you can choose from a diverse range of majors and subjects in the arts, humanities and social sciences. You'll develop an in-depth knowledge and breadth of understanding, gaining the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct independent research.

The Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy & Economics (PPE)/Law draws together the perspectives of four crucial academic disciplines to address professional demands, global trends and contemporary social issues, such as justice, inequality and climate change.

Alongside courses from the disciplines of Politics & International Relations, Philosophy, and Economics, the UNSW PPE degree explores the synergies and tensions between these fields and trains you to assess their relevance in meeting humanity's most complex challenges.

Your Law degree will complement your PPE studies as you develop a thorough understanding of legal frameworks, processes and systems alongside a wide range of experiential learning opportunities. You’ll gain exceptional skills that stand out to employers with practical experience, including mooting, an internship or clinical program, or international exchange.

This double degree is for students who want to pursue a career in the related disciplines of materials engineering and chemical engineering. Where materials scientists concern themselves mainly with the underlying science of high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, chemical engineers focus on turning raw materials into useful, marketable products from fertilisers, drugs and plastics, to paper, paint and food. By studying both degrees, you will learn foundational theory and practical skills that will put you at the forefront of development and innovation.
