Dual Master of Science (US & UK Diplomas) — Conferred jointly with Mltio University (USA) & Coventry University (UK)
Coventry University (United Kingdom)
Online or on campus
Advanced curriculum covering decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contract auditing, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and modern quantitative finance. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 60% / 40% international credit split. MSc Financial Technology & Blockchain Systems (US & UK Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Financial Markets, Payments & FinTech Foundations through Financial Markets, Payments & FinTech Foundations; Quantitative Finance, Valuation & Digital Asset Pricing; Blockchain Architecture & Smart Contract Engineering; DeFi, Smart Contract Auditing & Algorithmic Risk (Coventry Partner); CBDCs, RegTech & Financial Regulation (Coventry Partner); FinTech Applied Research Capstone, and finish on FinTech Applied Research Capstone. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result. Reading is financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Dual Master's diplomas acknowledged by financial authorities in New York and London Solidity, Web3 engineering, and algorithmic risk mitigation sandboxes Collaborative research on regulatory compliance and algorithmic market microstructure Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

| MSC-601 | Financial Markets, Payments & FinTech Foundations Financial Markets, Payments & FinTech Foundations (MSC-601) is a 6-credit course on MSc Financial Technology & Blockchain Systems (US & UK Dual Award), with 60 notional learning hours. By the end, students can read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result, using Financial Markets, Payments & FinTech Foundations as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence.
