Throughout the program, students will learn how to assess and price risks, how to identify valuable opportunities, how to evaluate alternatives, how to make sound and good financial decisions, and how to manage money. Important topics covered in the program include corporate finance, investment analysis and portfolio management, financial markets and institutions, and international finance. The curriculum of the program is also practical and prepares students for proficiency in working with industry-standard databases such as Reuters, Bloomberg Analytics, and Morningstar Direct. A unique course, Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF), provides an opportunity for students to put the principles of fundamental investment in practice with real money and gain valuable experience in equity research and portfolio management. Despite the program is comprehensive and offers many elective courses for students to develop specialties in specific areas of finance, it is also flexible enough to accommodate students’ interest in choosing other disciplines as their second major and minor studies. As such, our graduates are well prepared for professional qualifications such as CFA, CFP, PRM and FRM. There are ample enrichment opportunities such as business competitions, Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), and internships that prepare our students to be well-rounded finance professionals. On top of that, many of our students take part in the overseas exchange program and benefit greatly from the experience. With a strong understanding of finance concepts and business acumen, good analytical and quantitative skills as well as communication skills, our graduates typically pursue careers in investment banking, retail banking, fund management, trading, insurance, actuarial, accountancy and tax, compliance and risk, management consultancy and corporate law. Graduates with major in finance are also well-suited for careers in general line management, management consulting, private equity/venture capital and small business management. Curriculum (4-Year)
