Master's Program in AI Fintech

 

Program Overview
Course Introduction

With the recent rapid digitalization of South Korea's financial landscape, the financial market is undergoing significant restructuring. Consequently, mergers and acquisitions between various financial institutions, fintech, and big tech companies are starting to emerge. In this environment, traditional financial institutions such as banks are undergoing such rapid changes that they can no longer be considered as stable organizations.


In the case of the United States, it has been reported that in 2019, an astronomical amount of $1400 trillion was poured into Digital Transformation. However, it's reported that over 70%, which amounts to $1000 trillion, was wasted without yielding any income. This statistic indicates that merely hiring a few genius technologists or investing significant amounts in digital equipment or software development does not guarantee the accomplishment of digital financial innovation.


According to recent labor statistics in South Korea, 70% of current employees in financial institutions come from non-engineering backgrounds. There is a significant lack of digital experts due to a high number of individuals unfamiliar with digital technology and limited availability of tech professionals that can be recruited externally. From the perspective of financial institutions, it is crucial now to provide rapid education and training to current financial employees to transform them into innovators within the changing digital finance landscape. Additionally, organizational capabilities supporting this transformation are more critical than ever. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of current financial employees, it can be said that acquiring digital skills enabling survival in the swiftly changing digital finance environment is more crucial now than ever before.


However, can finance industry employees immediately acquire digital capabilities simply by learning coding, programming skills, and completing a few courses in big data? To truly enhance digital capabilities, it requires not only acquiring technical skills but also a shift in the organizational culture and a change in the analytical paradigm for addressing real-world problems. Acquiring these skills often reaches limitations through individual efforts alone and tends to involve a lot of trial and error.


aSSIST's "AI Fintech Master's Program" focuses on equipping students not only with digital technology skills but also with the ability to identify and solve operational and managerial issues within the finance industry. Additionally, the program supports the acquisition of innovative approaches to address business problems using various digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain.


For organizational leaders looking to spearhead the digital transformation in financial institutions, professionals aiming to elevate their careers in the finance industry as innovative core talents within their organizations, and individuals exploring new business prospects and venturing into entrepreneurship within the finance sector, we invite you to join aSSIST's 'AI Fintech Master's Program' to discover solutions and progress together.
