About Bachelor in BSc (Hons) Finance with Data Analytics

Tuition fees are 12,627 USD per year.

Graduates move into roles such as financial analyst, credit analyst, algorithmic trader, financial data scientist or risk analyst in banks, asset-management firms, fintech start-ups and regulatory bodies, and many continue to postgraduate study in finance or data science. Professional certifications such as CFA or FRM are common next steps. A key feature is the early focus on programming; the mandatory module Introduction to Programming 1 teaches Python for financial modelling, while the Data Science Life Cycle and Statistical Techniques modules give practical experience with big-data tools and machine learning concepts relevant to modern finance. The curriculum also covers contemporary topics such as blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and fintech, linking academic study with industry practice. The programme suits candidates who have completed A-Levels (CCC), STPM, IB (27 points) or an equivalent foundation in business or science and who have an interest in both financial markets and quantitative analysis. Applicants should be comfortable with mathematics – for example 60% in high-school maths for Indonesian certificates or 70% for Indian certificates – and eager to apply analytical skills to real-world finance problems.
