Master of Finance
Program Mission
The HKU Master of Finance (MFin) Program is an interdisciplinary program aiming to provide motivated individuals with not only cutting-edge training in financial theory, but also the necessary mathematical, statistical and computer training, allowing them to apply the knowledge in a multitude of financial disciplines: pricing derivative instruments and securities, modelling and forecasting financial markets, hedging and financial risk management, credit risk management, insurance and reinsurance, quantitative trading and arbitrage training, asset allocation and investment management, and asset/liability management.
Successful graduates will enjoy a competitive advantage in a wide range of career opportunities in commercial and investment banks, brokerage and investment firms, insurance companies, treasury departments of non-financial corporations, regulatory agencies, and also consulting and accounting firms.
Program Overview
The MFin Program offered by the Faculty of Business & Economics represents an optimal mix of fundamental and cutting-edge knowledge in all areas of modern finance. The program includes four basic courses in Financial Analysis that are based on the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) curriculum, specifically designed to broaden the candidates' knowledge of Quantitative Analysis, Financial Statement Analysis, Economics and Fundamentals of Asset Valuation, such as investment valuation and portfolio management. These four courses, which will allow students to gain a solid knowledge base to prepare for all levels of the CFA examination, make up the Fundamental Core Module.
After successful completion of the Fundamental Core Module, students will continue their studies in either the Risk Management Stream, or the Financial Engineering Stream. The Risk Management Stream has a core module of five courses, and the Financial Engineering Stream has a core module of six courses. Students will then take elective courses to make up a total of twelve courses in order to graduate.
Program Details
The Program offers two streams: 1) Financial Engineering, and 2) Risk Management. Students may concentrate in either one of the two areas according to their interests and career aspirations. Students can be awarded the degree with double concentrations in Financial Engineering and Risk Management, provided that they have successfully completed the core courses in both areas plus 3 other electives.
The faculty of Master of Finance comes from a variety of educational backgrounds: finance, economics, statistics, mathematics, law, accounting, computer sciences as well as other quantitative disciplines. Successful graduates will enjoy a competitive advantage in a wide range of career opportunities in commercial and investment banks, brokerage and investment firms, insurance companies, treasury departments of non-financial corporations, regulatory agencies, and also consulting and accounting firms.
