Why Study RegTech?
Cambridge’s RegTech programme will deliver critical insights and hands-on tools for working professionals in government and industry to address an increasingly complex regulatory environment. The course will prepare risk, compliance, innovation and data sector business leaders to navigate the complexities of the industry, including technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) that support automated regulation.
In this programme, professionals will:
- Identify new applications and revenue opportunities for RegTech solutions –including technologies such as big data, cloud computing and AI
- Understand model-driven, machine-readable and executable regulations to scale a business
- Learn from leaders who created the Regulatory Genome Project, a transformational initiative launched in part by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) to sequence an open-source repository of machine-readable regulatory information
What makes this course different is the capstone project that allows our learners to uncover new ways of thinking about leveraging RegTech in business by identifying a challenge for regulators or regulated industries, creating a detailed framework and recommending a real-world solution.
“This programme is a good example of the application of data science to solve real world problems - in this case, challenges around regulatory change, regulatory compliance and risk management for firms operating in the economy.”
Robert (Bob) Wardrop, Management Practice Professor, University of Cambridge Judge Business School

- Regulation fundamentally shapes operations--beyond imposing costs
- Industries are impacted by legal uncertainty and incentivised activities
- Various parts of a commercial organisation work together to process regulatory content
- Supervisory bodies work together to process data from firms
- Data will likely undergo a transformation in the process of becoming actionable
- Data, semantic, and application of compliance solutions can be distinguished
- Different types of RegTech solutions can be combined for improved results
Module 2: What is Machine-Readable Regulation?
Understand how RegTech applications organise and display the entities regulated firms care about, how AI-powered tools make information structures actionable, and the ways in which commercial organisations work together to process regulatory content.
Module 3: Managing Regulatory Change
Learn how boundedly rational decisions can perpetuate manual or sub-optimal processes in regulated firms, ways to overcome stakeholders that present as obstacles to technology applications and how to leverage successful RegTech implementations to overcome resistance.
Module 4: Scaling Machine-Readable Regulation
Understand how key technologies and systems make RegTech applications scalable in light of their prerequisites and limitations while appreciating the nature and magnitude of quality assurance, data cleaning and standardisation. You will also consider the technological and ethical challenges to implementing AI at scale.
Module 5: Building and Buying RegTech / SupTech Solutions
Distinguish between data, semantic, application, and analog solutions with a focus on compliance automation solutions for diverse audiences. You will understand how to develop an actionable medium-term plan for the development, procurement and implementation of technologies as well as formal ways in which organisations can collaborate with IT and RegTech vendors.
Module 6: Prototyping Sprint + Project Capstone
Uncover new ways of thinking around how to make RegTech work in your business by identifying a challenge for regulators or regulated industries, creating a detailed framework and recommending a real-world solution.
