Finance Technology Diploma

For finance professionals who want to discover how data science, ML and AI can help finance do a better job.

You don’t just scratch the surface of data science in finance but actually get to start coding, analysing and automating financial processes and data. The first module introduces Python notebooks as a tool for finance professionals, complementing the usual triplet of Excel, SAP and PowerBI. We look into use cases where the productivity gains are immediately significant. In the second module, we apply these skills and tools to automating and streamlining financial processes and data analysis. The third and final module then digs into more advanced machine learning and generative AI, and their application to finance.

Programme starts 11 September 2024.
