“Financial Economics and Financial Technologies”

The world of economics is changing rapidly: traditional financial instruments are giving way to digital platforms, fintech solutions, and algorithmic models. Today, it is no longer enough for professionals to possess only a solid understanding of basic principles. They must be able to analyze large volumes of data, accurately assess risks, and develop unconventional solutions in an environment characterized by uncertainty.

The Financial Economics and Financial Technologies program prepares professionals who are capable not only of navigating the complex structure of the modern financial system, but also of implementing new technologies, managing assets, modeling economic processes, and identifying growth opportunities in both national and global economies.

The curriculum combines rigorous theoretical training with practical skills in statistics, econometrics, digital finance, risk management, and forecasting using artificial intelligence technologies. This provides a solid foundation for building a sustainable career in banking, investment companies, corporate finance departments, as well as in the fintech sector and public administration.
