Graduate Certificate in Financial Intelligence and Technology at DCU

DCU Business School in association with IFS Skillnet is offering a Graduate Certificate in Financial Intelligence and Technology.

The Certificate is designed for people who want to add modern financial techniques and innovation expertise to their existing finance experience.  This digital finance competency will enable students to transition to emerging roles that require this knowledge, and to position themselves as champions of this new approach to finance in the workplace.  The financial innovation skillset that this programme develops will also work in terms of kickstarting entrepreneurial approaches to finance, both in a start-up sense and within firms.

The Graduate Certificate in Financial Intelligence and Technology covers a range of skills that are both in short supply and highly demanded.  This includes the ability to develop modern financial products and services that customers, especially young customers, want to use.  For that the Certificate focuses on the technical skills of financial data science and machine learning.

The course also develops a richer understanding of who the financial customer is – a behavioural and design aspect which is vital in terms of customer willingness to adapt new financial services and products.

Lastly, the Certificate incorporates a deep understanding of the FinTech industry driven by our research and industry expertise and blend this industry perspective with DCU Business School’s innovation and entrepreneurial focus.

This level 9, postgraduate programme is provided through online distance learning, which means that students can achieve a deeper understanding in a specialist area and provide a sound basis for their long-term career, without disruption to their career or other commitments.
