Rigour for real markets.
For future leaders in fintech, brokerage and financial services. Proposed MSc pathways linking finance and trading knowledge with market technology, risk, regulation and commercial leadership.
How modern trading businesses actually work
The proposed curriculum blends core finance with the operational disciplines of a brokerage or fintech: clients, platforms, pricing, execution, risk and compliance. It is designed for people who want to manage these businesses, not to speculate.
Financial and market rigour
Asset pricing, market structure, quantitative methods, game theory and financial data analytics.
Fintech and platforms
Trading platforms, brokerage technology, order routing, data and AI in trading.
Management and stewardship
Client acquisition and service, treasury and client money, risk frameworks and governance.
Global relevance and trust
Regulation across jurisdictions, financial crime compliance and cases from Europe, the Gulf, India and China.
A university decides. We deliver and support.
The degree would be awarded by a Finnish partner university. The university would own the curriculum, decide every admission, set and mark assessment, supervise theses and confer the degree.
Breathing Fish University would be the delivery partner: we would recruit and support students, prepare verified application files, author learning materials for the university’s approval, run the online platform and live seminars, and operate the invigilated exam centres.
