Yes, you can start an MSc in Financial Technology (FinTech) with a background in Business and Finance.

Most UK universities accept applicants with degrees in Business, Finance, Economics, or related fields for MSc FinTech programs. Some familiarity with quantitative methods or programming (like Python) is helpful but not always required.

If you need to strengthen your quantitative skills, consider a pre-master’s or foundation program before the MSc.

You'll need to provide academic transcripts, a statement of purpose, and recommendation letters. English language requirements (such as IELTS) apply, but you may be eligible for a waiver.
