The Executive Master of International Finance at the University of Amsterdam Business School incorporated Fintech, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies into the curriculum.
ABS is the first business school in the Netherlands offering these courses as part of the post-experience Master in International Finance programme.
Blockchain is about the hottest topic in finance at the moment and 2016 was the year of FinTech. The finance industry is hiring far fewer people than before, and they want their new hires to have skills in 'big data' analytics as well as familiarity with new technologies and platforms. They are also facing market entry from new competitors such as telecom companies and big tech firms like Apple, Google, and Amazon.
What are the new skill-sets needed by the employee of the future? Mark Buitenhek (Global Head Transaction Services at ING) and Thomas Bunnik (Founder & CEO of Pritle) speak about the opportunities of these new technologies. More? Meet us at http://abs.uva.nl/mif
