Fintech Innovation - Kerry

This innovative online MSc in Fintech Innovation will equip graduates with critical insights into Fintech across the key pillars of finance, technology and innovation. It meets the needs and contributes significantly to future-proofing the financial operations across all domains, including the financial services sector itself. Digital technologies and developments are continuing to influence transformation in business and operational models. Knowing your customer (KYC) is central to these models, which also involve embracing key innovative tools such as data analytics, design thinking, sprints, development operations, and UX.



This has created a growing demand for talent with the ability to transcend knowledge domains in finance, innovation and technology. This flexibility is required to support inter- and multidisciplinary innovation teams in working with agility. This leads to the development of products and services for B2B, B2C, or new hybrid products and services that reach the market. Participants also have the opportunity to engage with and learn from our industry partners through our panel of thought leaders in the Emerging Technology Series.

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
