This is an international finance and economics programme that is aimed at students who aim to pursue

a finance career in China or abroad. The programme is delivered

by an international team through English, resulting in a western educational culture that offers an

alternative to the environment that students typically experience in Chinese universities. We value

logical thinkers and problem solvers, and these skills are encouraged throughout the degree

programme. We aim to provide a collaborative learning environment with approachable international

staff. In addition to traditional lectures, the curriculum is also delivered via tutorials, interactive

laboratory sessions and through online engagement. The programme has a strong focus on learning

by doing, through group and individual projects and lab work.


1 - Develop problem solving skills and a capacity to apply these skills in a variety of contexts
2 - Design theoretical models to explore the operation of financial markets specifically and the economy in general
3 - Understand the impact of government action on financial markets and the economy in general
4 - Understand in a rigorous manner the linkages between domestic and foreign markets
