Fintech ready
World class fintech teaching
Scotland is home to five universities in the Global top 200, the 2nd highest concentration per capita in the world behind Switzerland. This concentration has created an environment where companies large and small rub shoulders with leading experts in a wide range of fields including Data, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Blockchain. These universities attract talented students and academics from around the world. In 2017 the University of Strathclyde was the first in Europe to launch an MSc in Fintech. Since then the University of Stirling, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow have developed their own MSc in fintech.
Universities – the new industry collaboration spaces
Scotland’s universities are very often avant-garde. They are leading the way in terms of collaboration between academia, the industry and fintech start-ups and SMEs. The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow launched its Technology and Innovation Centre, a 270,000 sq ft space, in 2015 and The University is soon to launch its Edinburgh Futures Institute.
