Overview

The Financial Innovation and Technology course from Queen's University allows you to earn a world-class degree in just 12 months without leaving your current job.

Classes are held weekday evenings and during the day on designated weekends. Although this program can be completed while you work, it is considered a full-time program.

Technology has undeniably changed how financial markets and institutions function. Every part of the financial value chain is being disrupted by nimble technology-based innovators and changing the skills required to be successful in modern finance.
