On the first of March 2023, Kent Business School MSc students got to experience a sample of life at a professional fintech company Stable LTD, a fintech company specialising in hedging commodity prices.
The Chief Technology Officer at Stable, Dr. Simon Wang, hosted the visit and our FinTech MSc students met his data science team to discuss Stable’s technological development since inception in 2016. The students assessed Stable’s potential to become a disruptor in the future and discussed the role of data analytics and AI in their business model.
Course leader for Fintech, Dr Hirbod Assa said: ‘Our students got to experience a little of what goes on in a leading Fintech firm and how their studies will set them up for such a career in the finance industry. The company’s success story served as a tangible example, illustrating the path towards achieving professional success.’
The company visit was welcomed by students and staff alike, and the partnership between KBS and the firm looks to continue into the future.
MSc Finance student Lisa Hussein, said: “The trip to Stable gave me the opportunity to see how I can possibly transfer the skills I am gaining in the Fintech course into solving real-world problems. It also opened my eyes to the wide-reaching capacity of the field.”
