Learner Reviews & Feedback for Financial Regulation in Emerging Markets and the Rise of Fintech Companies by University of Cape Town

Financial Regulation in Emerging Markets and the Rise of Fintech Companies is an amazing course, it gives a nice introduction as to how the current financial systems were built down to why they're now so flawed. Most importantly, how these flaws greatly affect the world's economic. If you're not sure as to why you should pay more attention to financial markets, and the uprising solutions, then this course is perfect for you. If you do not why, but still uncertain of the core causes and urgent rise of FinTech Companies, then its also perfect for you. All the best!

Excellent course which gives a great foundation in understanding the origin of financial regulation and how the evolution of banking and financial institution systems took place after the major shocks ranging from the Great Depression and especially The Global Financial Crisis and the potential and rather inevitable progress of fintech in emerging markets.

This course was well presented. I am a science student who's never had any Business or Financial education and I was able to perfectly understand everything with help from the required reading.

Sets great context of financial regulation formation through crises and how fintech is developing. Really liked the interviews with some of the leading Fintech companies and how corporates are driving it.

This is very good programme, it should be marketed especially to teams working with regulators . It can go a long way in assisting sharping up the Fintech regulations.

Amazing! The most beautiful thing on law and regulation is the dialogic relation with the society, and this course has shown this perspective.

Honestly thing it is a great course. I learnt a lot, it is well taught and the assignments test the application of the content well.

Really excellent, one of the best Coursera courses I've done (and I've done a lot) - I would give this more than 5 stars if I could

Excellent!

I enjoyed the breadth of the course and the depth it took in looking at the historical context to the rise of Fintech.

Well organized course but very difficult to complete, peer to peer review makes it difficult to progress with ease

Very instructive and interesting course! I would highly for those who want to understand Fintech in general.

Being a Social Science scholar, I must admit, I found this to be worthwhile.

I understood a better path of the worldwide regulation for fintech.

Can you create a introductory course on Financial Regulation. Like an introduction to the most important regulations that came after the 2008 Financial Crisis (Ex Volcker Rule & Dodd Frank) and the European Debt Crisis (ex MiFID II & EMIR). I am in the look out for such courses.

Great insights in Fintech, well presented course focusing on the key aspects of Fintech disruption.

Maybe too optimistic on some fintechs.

It was a pretty dry course with the same instructor droning on and on about the topic of financial regulations. It was very difficult to complete the videos. It took me forever to complete this although it wasn't a very long course. I do appreciate the live examples shown in week 4, it was the only week I enjoyed!
