The Oxford Digital Finance Executive Education Series launches

Published

In collaboration with Esme Learning, the School has introduced five online executive education programmes to prepare professionals for the future of finance.

Saïd Business School and Esme Learning, the AI-powered digital learning platform, have introduced the Oxford Digital Finance Executive Series: a dynamic set of six-week online executive education programmes. Financial executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals supporting the financial services sector will choose three out of five courses in the series to help them navigate the most critical challenges facing their industry in coming years. The programmes will be taught using a blend of video instruction, AI coaching, and small-group collaborative learning.

The global fintech market is expected to reach a market value of $305 billion by 2025. This rapid industry growth means there is demand for fintech talent who can manage emerging technologies. These programmes will provide professionals with expertise in AI, Open Banking, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and cyber security subsectors.

 

 

‘The global financial services sector is undergoing large-scale digital transformation, creating billions of dollars of opportunity for technologically savvy executives, and career risk for people who fail to adapt to this change.'

CEO and Co-Founder, Esme Learning

Shrier added: ‘The Oxford Digital Finance Executive Series helps prepare professionals for success in this rapidly evolving environment.’

‘Experience has shown change is accelerated through cross pollination of perspectives,’ said Caroline Williams, Director, Open Executive Education, Oxford Saïd.

‘The launch of this critical development pathway showcases the benefit of acquiring multidisciplinary lenses to seize opportunities or navigate challenges successfully within a transformational environment.’

To complete the Series, professionals must take the core Oxford Fintech Programme, as well as two of four related elective programmes of their choice in either AI in Finance and Open Banking, Blockchain Strategy, Cyber Security for Business Leaders, or Platforms and Digital Disruption. Those who have completed prior Oxford Fintech, Blockchain Strategy, and Cyber Security (formerly known as Cyber Futures) programmes are eligible to enter the Series as accelerated students.
