For a subject that brings together finance and technology, it is an opportunity to concentrate on understanding and applying ideas—not simply recalling them under exam conditions. It can help you practise approaching complex questions with thought and care.

The city’s technology community creates further possibilities for connecting financial thinking with areas such as data, software and artificial intelligence.

Toronto is also home to insurance businesses and a broad professional services community. As organisations consider digital transformation, risk and changing customer expectations, graduates can draw on theoretical knowledge that applies internationally while bringing their own understanding of the local industry to the opportunities ahead.
