The teaching and learning process in the MSc program in FinTech and Innovation Management is organized according to the UBT academic calendar, which defines the study cycle, including the start and end of the academic year, lecture periods, examination sessions and important academic deadlines. The academic year consists of two semesters (Fall and Spring), each comprising 15 weeks of lectures and seminars, with a standard student workload of 30 ECTS per semester. Assessment is organized through regular examination periods in January, June and September, as well as additional examination opportunities during extraordinary periods.
Teaching is delivered through a combination of interactive lectures, seminars, case studies and project-based assignments, enabling students to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical competencies relevant to financial technologies and innovation management. Students engage in individual and group assignments, seminar papers and research-based tasks throughout the semester, which are evaluated based on criteria such as analytical content, structure, use of literature and practical insights.
Seminar discussions and project work encourage active participation and critical thinking, allowing students to explore real-world challenges in areas such as digital finance, financial innovation and emerging technologies. Given that many master’s students are professionally active, the program emphasizes practical applications, research projects and industry-oriented discussions.
The Moodle learning platform supports the teaching and learning process by enabling the distribution of course materials, organization of online quizzes, communication between professors and students, and continuous monitoring of student progress. Student assessment typically combines written examinations with continuous evaluation activities such as assignments, projects and class participation.
