Learn about the impact of data analysis on financial markets

In a world where financial markets evolve at the pace of technology, a pioneering degree program has emerged in Spain: the Bachelor's Degree in Financial Markets and Data Science at Universidad CEU San Pablo in collaboration with Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME). This official program, taught entirely in English, responds to the growing demand for hybrid professionals with a solid financial background and mastery of advanced data analysis tools.

Unlike other degrees in economics or finance, this program combines subjects such as programming, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and emerging technologies such as blockchain. All of this is applied to analysis and decision-making in financial markets.

The Bachelor in Financial Markets and Data Science is designed for students with a financial vocation who are looking for a differentiated education, with a global vision and the ability to lead the transformation of the sector.

With an outstanding academic faculty, the program prepares students to take on key roles in the job market. In addition, it offers experience-based learning: guaranteed internships at BME, access to the Bloomberg Classroom, and an academic faculty of excellence.

This program doesn’t just anticipate the future of finance — it shapes it. A career with impact, a global vision, and limitless opportunities.
