MSc w Analizie Finansowej

The MSc Financial Analytics is the programme for you if you have an interest in financial markets, or financial technology (FinTech), and enjoy working with data. It shows you how data science, statistics and programming tools are used in the real world for the analysis and modelling of financial data. It can lead to exciting careers in areas such as financial data science, trading, portfolio management, data analytics, risk management and academia.

The programme will equip students with cutting-edge quantitative and computational techniques utilised by leading finance and FinTech firms. Given its strong industry focus it will open up excellent graduate opportunities in the financial markets, as well as in quantitative finance and trading environments.

The course aims to bridge the gap between complex quantitative models and financial decision-making and does so by equipping students with dual skill sets in both finance and data analysis.
