Australia’s UOW India centre at GIFT City to start classes from July 29

On Wednesday, the university also opened applications for its three FinTech programmes — Master of Financial Technology, Master of Financial Technology (Extension), and a Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology. The classes for these courses will begin in November this year. With an initial intake of 20-25 students, these programmes will gradually increase the seats in the following years.

UOW India Campus Director Nimay Kalyani told The Indian Express that the opening of the FinTech programmes will provide students with career options in the areas of blockchain technology, digital payments, data analytics, financial advisory and machine learning.

We are excited to open FinTech applications to students as we get closer to the opening of our campus in GIFT City, India’s leading global financial and technology hub, Kalyani said.

“When the GIFT City campus opens later this month, UOW India will be the 3rd highest ranked university in India and will be in the top 1 per cent universities in the world, ranking equal 167th in the latest QS World Rankings,” Kalyani told this paper.

Students will also have the opportunity to participate in work-integrated learning programmes, that will include both internships and non-internship opportunities, such as faculty integrating industry-identified challenges into classroom experiences. Students will gain hands-on experience, applying classroom knowledge to practical, real-life business scenarios.

“Our mission to deliver world-class education in India complements the experience and expertise of our industry experts and highly experienced faculty members involved in delivering the programmes.

The FinTech programmes that will be offered at UOW India’s GIFT City campus will enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the FinTech industry in a world-class campus setting.

UOW India’s FinTech courses will equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience needed for success in finance and the emerging field of Financial Technology.

The Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology is a short programme focused on cutting-edge developments in Financial Technology, helping students develop a strong understanding of how technology is being applied in a range of domains such as banking and insurance.

The Master of Financial Technology and Extension programmes are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the industry and its impact on the global economy.
