Program Overview

Technology is changing the way the financial services industry operates. The Financial Technology graduate certificate program provides students with the essential skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving financial technology industry. This two-semester program combines expertise in financial services with cutting-edge technology, preparing students to design secure, regulatory-compliant solutions and innovate in areas such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, (AI), machine learning and digital payments. Through hands-on learning, work- integrated learning and industry-driven projects, students will competently navigate tools like Python, SQL and blockchain frameworks, applying them to real-world financial challenges. The curriculum emphasizes ethical practices, regulatory compliance, and how to build and host financial applications, ensuring graduates are equipped to navigate the deployment of modern financial systems. 

Flexible Schedule: This program offers flexible scheduling, with lectures offered online and labs delivered in person as part of the hybrid delivery format. The program is designed for working IT professionals who wish to upgrade their skills in financial technologies. Please note that the fully online option is not available to international students.  

Courses

At Humber, courses are delivered in a variety of formats:

In-Person - An in-person course is delivered fully on campus.

Online Asynchronous (A) - An online asynchronous course has no fixed class schedule and allows students to engage with the course at different times according to their needs. Faculty provide modules, which are completed independently by the students according to established deadlines.

Online Synchronous (S) - An online synchronous course is delivered fully online and requires faculty and students to participate in real-time according to a fixed schedule. Classes are scheduled for a specific day and time.

Hybrid - A hybrid course is a combination of in-person and online classes and follows a set schedule. Students must be available to attend in-person classes at scheduled times during the semester.

The chart below outlines the delivery options available for each course in this program, by campus. For some academic terms, there may be more than one delivery option available. You’ll be able to select your preferred options when building your course schedule during open enrolment. Preferences for course delivery will be considered on a first come, first served basis. Some Humber programs are also delivered fully online, where all courses are delivered online.

International students: the impact of studying from outside of Canada on Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility differs significantly based on when you start your program. Please review the PGWP eligibility before choosing your program and course delivery.
