Cultivating experts leading a digital transformation in financial industry

 

In recent years, the development of digital technologies has brought a rapid change in the financial industry. On September 1, 2020, the Department of FinTech was newly founded under SKKU graduate school to cultivate experts who will lead innovation in the financial industry, and offers MS and Ph.D. programs. The graduate programs in the department provides an interdisciplinary education in Finance, Data Science, and AI, which will help students become experts who lead a digital transformation in the financial industry.

 

The graduate programs are supported by the Brain Korea 21 (BK21) Project of Korean government.
The full-time students in the department get monthly stipends by the Project.

 

The master program is divided into two tracks: Business Track and Research Track. A student in Business Track can acquire a master degree in Fintech by completing coursework of 36 credit hours without writing a thesis. Research Track and Ph.D. program in Fintech aim at providing students with a research foundation in AI Finance and competencies to become leading researchers of the next generation.
