The study examines 140 finance-related university programmes across 19 countries and compares curriculum-level Python integration with computational skill signals extracted from 190 finance and FinTech job advertisements. Using a novel Depth–Scope–Authenticity (DSA) rubric, the project investigates how universities respond to growing employer demand for programming, analytics, machine learning, and algorithmic finance skills. Contents Scored curriculum dataset (140 programmes) Job-advert skill-signal dataset (190 records) Python replication code Tables and figures from the manuscript Rubric documentation and appendices Reproducibility files and SHA-256 checksums Key Finding Python is increasingly visible in finance education, but access to authentic computational learning remains highly uneven, suggesting that higher education may both close and reproduce digital skills gaps in finance.
