Graduate Certificate in Fintech

University of Newcastle, Newcastle, NSW, Australia

About this program

The Graduate Certificate in Fintech at the University of Newcastle is a short postgraduate program (40 units, under a year full-time) taught at the Newcastle City campus. It combines core financial knowledge with digital and analytical skills for a finance sector being reshaped by technology. Courses include AI and Data Insight in Business Decisions and Digital Innovations in Financial Markets.
The certificate is designed as a stepping stone: graduates can continue into the University of Newcastle's Master of Fintech, which is also offered as a combined degree with the Master of Business Administration, with credit for the units already completed. It suits finance or business graduates who want to add fintech skills, and career changers testing the field before committing to a full master's. International students should note that a course this short does not on its own meet the two-year study requirement for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
