UBI BUSINESS SCHOOL today announces the launch of three new International Finance and AI Bachelor’s degrees: Finance & Artificial Intelligence, Management of Wealth & Artificial Intelligence, and FinTech & Artificial Intelligence. The programmes are taught across Luxembourg, Madrid and Shanghai through UBI’s HyFlex model and lead to a British degree validated by Middlesex University (London).
Designed from the ground up for the AI‑transformed finance economy, the programmes combine rigorous financial training with applied AI, data analytics and cloud skills. Each degree integrates international immersion periods, a practitioner‑led Evenings @ The Castle series in UBI’s Wiltz Castle campus (Luxembourg), and a student‑run Finance & AI Club that builds leadership and market‑ready portfolios.
Demand for graduates who can connect finance with AI‑enabled execution is accelerating sharply: generative AI could unlock $200-$340 billion in annual value in banking (9-15% of operating profits), while FinTech revenues are projected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2030 – underscoring the scale of opportunity for early‑career talent entering AI‑intensive financial roles.
Prof. Gaston Fornes, Dean, UBI BUSINESS SCHOOL Europe, said:
“We are proudly and purposefully unconventional. These Bachelor’s degrees are delivered with multi‑city immersion periods in Luxembourg, Madrid and Shanghai, coupled with new co‑curricular experiences – Evenings @ The Castle and a student‑led Finance & AI Club – that place learners shoulder‑to‑shoulder with practitioners. This design mimics the professional rhythm of many high‑flying finance careers while equipping students to turn data, models and cloud into measurable value. In short, we are re‑wiring undergraduate business education for an AI‑intensive world.”
A hallmark of the new suite is the Human‑AI‑First learning design: all three programmes embed applied analytics, responsible AI practices and cloud fluency. Through UBI’s membership of AWS Academy, students access AWS tools, courses and optional certifications aligned with in‑demand roles – strengthening readiness to create business value in real cloud environments.
UBI’s HyFlex model – combining five‑star asynchronous learning, live sessions and continuous faculty feedback – has been EOCCS‑certified by EFMD and received Highly Commended recognition at the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2026, ensuring an academically rigorous, flexible and borderless learning experience.
Dr Marcelo Leporati, Dean of Undergraduate Programmes & Learning Technologies, added:
“Our students won’t just learn about AI in finance; they will deploy it. From Evenings @ The Castle with market practitioners to the Finance & AI Club and industry briefs, we’ve built an experience that bridges strategy, regulation and technology—and produces graduates ready to add value from day one.”
