This module will establish a working knowledge of Python for finance and its practical application in the context of FinTech. The module does not assume any prior knowledge of either coding or more specifically Python. Python programming is one of the most precious skills in the world of finance. Python is a programming language used to organise and visualise data to provide actionable insights, create desirable data forms and essential outputs to support business requirement documents.
This module rapidly develops programming skills for financial calculations and financial data analysis, with a focus on practical application. Participants will learn the essential skills required to make the most of programming opportunities, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the programming concepts, as well as extensive practical experience in some of the core data analysis libraries used in Python.
Note that a Python & Coding Bootcamp will be incorporated into the induction phase of the MSc to ensure that students begin this core module with a working knowledge of coding. This will ensure a more efficient start to the module and will help facilitate overall real-world case based learning to attain level 7 / M-level mastery.
