The teaching and learning process in the BSc program in FinTech and Business Analytics is organized in accordance with the UBT academic calendar, which regulates the academic cycle, including the beginning and end of the academic year, lecture periods, examination sessions, and other key academic deadlines. The academic year is divided into two semesters (Fall and Spring), each consisting of 15 weeks of lectures and practical sessions, with a standard student workload of 30 ECTS per semester. Student assessment is conducted through regular examination periods in January, June, and September, as well as additional extraordinary examination sessions in accordance with institutional regulations.
Teaching is delivered through a combination of interactive lectures, tutorials, laboratory exercises, case studies, and problem-based assignments, enabling students to acquire both theoretical foundations and practical competencies relevant to financial technologies, business analytics, and digital transformation. Throughout the semester, students complete individual and group assignments, quizzes, seminar papers, programming tasks, and analytical projects, which are evaluated according to transparent criteria such as understanding of concepts, analytical quality, structure, application of methods, use of relevant literature, and practical relevance.
Seminar discussions, hands-on exercises, and project work promote active student participation, teamwork, and critical thinking, allowing students to address real-world challenges in areas such as digital banking, financial data analysis, business intelligence, blockchain applications, and data-driven decision-making. As a bachelor-level program, the teaching process places particular emphasis on developing core academic skills, quantitative reasoning, digital literacy, and professional communication competencies required for further studies and entry into the labour market.
The Moodle learning platform supports the teaching and learning process by facilitating the distribution of course materials, submission of assignments, online quizzes, communication between academic staff and students, and continuous monitoring of student progress. Assessment methods combine written examinations with continuous evaluation instruments such as coursework, laboratory tasks, projects, presentations, and class participation, ensuring a balanced and student-centered learning experience.
