Masters Programme - Finance, Technology and PolicyMASTERS PROGRAMME

Edinburgh Futures Institute is for students who want to work across disciplinary boundaries to address real problems, thinking deeply about the social implications of technological change, and learning in new and creative ways.

The Institute will offer a combination of named programmes in key areas, as well as a portfolio of project-led, interdisciplinary programmes designed to address critical aspects of our shared social and technological futures.

We are developing a unique hybrid teaching model which will enable students to choose when to be on campus and when to be at a distance, as well as developing new kinds of vibrant study and interaction spaces in the EFI building.

We want EFI Education to be accessible locally, nationally and globally, and to set a new standard for world class interdisciplinary higher education.

We are running a set of surveys for proposed programmes in the following areas: Creativity: Storytelling Futures; Education Futures; Future Democracy/Governance; Building Inclusive Societies; Future Sustainability, and Design Futures.

We invite you to share your thoughts on our early ideas for these programmes, to help us make them as exciting and relevant as possible.

FINANCE, TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY

Decades of technological advancements and new regulations have substantially altered how financial services are delivered.

The skills required to succeed within the finance sector have become more complex, with financial institutions, looking to take advantage of the growing availability of large amounts of data.

The ability to develop complex and appropriate technical solutions is now prized by organisations in the finance industry from the large established companies to start-ups.

Our MSc has been developed to equip you with the skills you need to meet existing industry challenges as well as be prepared for future ones.
