course overview
User experience (UX) is a critical component of successful FinTech innovation and draws on both design skills and neuroeconomics. The Design and User Experience for FinTech Micro-Credential module covers both of these aspects in demonstrating how to implement effective UX in modern finance.
The Design and User Experience for FinTech Micro-Credential module starts by laying a foundation for understanding behavioural influences on financial decision making. We show how a behavioural perspective is different to traditional finance.
Then we look at how behavioural decision making can explain the behaviour of investors, financial managers, and other financial actors. Lastly, we demonstrate how design and UX choices in FinTech can help to capture and address these financial behaviours.
This Micro-Credential module will be delivered by Program Director Dr. Michael Dowling , an esteemed expert in the field in collaboration with IFS Skillnet.
