The Masters of Science in Global Financial Information Systems (MSc in GFIS) commenced in September 2012. The MSc in GFIS (Level 9) was developed in response to the current and future demand from the Financial Services (FS) industry, for hybrid finance-technology graduates with a specific focus on the application of ICT to Financial Services. Developed in conjunction with a number of FS companies from Ireland and the UK, the objective of the MSc in GFIS is to enable high calibre graduates to rapidly develop quantitative, analytical, and ICT skills and experience, embedded in a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of Financial Services. However, the depth, standard and transferability of the skill-set and knowledge acquired on the programme, also means that graduates are in demand from companies in other professional industries. The MSc in GFIS was also shortlisted as Best New Course of the Year at the Postgrad Ireland Awards held at the Mansion House, Dublin in April 2015.

Past graduates of the MSc in GFIS are now employed with companies such as the Central Bank of Ireland; Bank of Ireland; Sun Life Financial; Citco Global Securities; Ernst & Young; EBS; AON Centre for Innovation and Analytics; FCOS Accounting Solutions; Bank of America Merrill Lynch; Cowen and Company; IBM; Synchronoss Technologies; Depuy Synthes (J&J); The Kerry Group; Glanbia; and, Fingal County Council. Graduates may also apply for Post Graduate Level 10 studies, such as a PhD by Research, either nationally or internationally.
