What Does this Programme Offer? Man Group are beginning a new partnership with Goldman Sachs and The University of Warwick to offer an MSc in Digital and Technological Solutions, alongside a role within our own technology teams. The programme is designed to fast-track entry-level technologists into a successful, challenging and rewarding career in one of the world’s largest asset managers. This programme offers a unique opportunity for those with minimal coding experience to break into the technology industry. The programme is split with 80% of the candidate’s time spent working within a technology team at Man Group, and 20% spent studying on campus at The University of Warwick. Whilst at Warwick students will be studying for an MSc in Digital and Technological Solutions, a course that has been designed in collaboration with Man Group and Goldman Sachs engineers, and has been curated to cover topics which we recognize are in high demand within our field. There will additionally be opportunities for candidates to rotate between teams and gain a broader experience of our usage of technology within Man Group. The master’s degree is funded in full, and your salary will be paid by Man Group in line with our full-time technology graduates.
