Capstone Project

Where Learning Translates into Real-World Impact

About Capstone Project

The Capstone Project is a cornerstone of the Certificate in FinTech and InsurTech programme, designed to close the gap between classroom learning and real industry application. It gives students a rare opportunity to go beyond theory and tackle live problem statements drawn directly from today’s financial services landscape.

Through the active involvement of our Corporate Champion Partners, students work on industry-defined challenges and are mentored by senior practitioners from across the FinTech and InsurTech ecosystem. With hands-on guidance, students learn to analyse real business and customer needs, design commercially viable solutions, and translate emerging technologies into practical outcomes.As part of this journey, the top 8–10 students will be invited to travel to Japan to present their solutions at GFTN Forum Japan, gaining international exposure and engaging directly with global industry and policy leaders. This initiative is proudly supported by MUFG, reflecting its strong commitment to nurturing next-generation digital finance talent and investing in skills, innovation, and long-term employability.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to all corporate mentors who have generously shared their time, expertise, and experience. Their involvement reflects a shared belief in developing future-ready talent and empowering the next generation to contribute meaningfully to an evolving and increasingly complex financial landscape.

The Capstone Project ensures that graduates are not only certified, but industry-ready, globally exposed, and equipped to create real impact from day one.
