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.

Who Should Apply

This Program is designed for professionals who have a keen interest in finance, preferably for those who have working experience in financial institutions, banks, or government regulatory bodies.

港大：港大的商学院开了两个硕士课程：Master of Economics（http://www.sef.hku.hk/postgradprog/master_econ/index.php） 和 Master of Finance （http://www.sef.hku.hk/postgradprog/master_finance/index.php），这两个课程倒是录取本科生，但是课程全部开在平日的晚上和周六，所以一看还是为了照顾本地Part-time学生。我们国内同学full-time去读的好处是：白天可以shopping，港大校园在港岛中央，去哪里shopping倒是都很方便...
其他几个学校我是一般不推荐去读的，如果一定要去我也没办法。FYI，这几个放在下边参考吧：

Master of Economics
Programme Mission


The HKU Master of Economics (MEcon) Programme aims at providing rigorous advanced training in economics with emphasis on real world applications.

The programme usually has its recruitment exercise from January to March every year.

Programme Details

Our curriculum is designed to help students master economic analysis, use it creatively to find solutions to problems, and develop confidence in analysing issues and answering questions relevant to their work.

Flexibility is a key character of the programme-students have a number of elective courses to choose from, and courses of varying blends of abstraction and applicability are available. In addition to courses offered by the MEcon Programme, students may also choose elective courses in the HKU Master of Finance (MFin) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) Programmes which are also offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE), subject to availability and approval of the Programme Director.


Who Should Apply

The MEcon Programme is most suitable for three types of students: those who have some economics training and consider starting a career as a professional economist; those who want to acquire advanced economics knowledge that is useful for them in the workplace; and those who simply wish to gain a systemic tool kit to understand the economic problems around us.

Meeting Venue and Time

Meeting Venue: HKU Main campus on Pokfulam Road.

Meeting Time: Weekday evenings from 6:45pm to 9:45pm or Saturday afternoons.

Duration of Study

Full-time students at normal progress shall finish the programme in one academic year. Part-time students at normal progress shall finish the programme in two academic years.

中大：放眼望去，中大开了一堆的硕士课程，但是... 全是Part-time的...

科大商学院：只有一个MSc in Economics （http://www.bm.ust.hk/ecmsc/）是应届毕业生可以申请的，课程开在经济系下面，实在是可惜。科大其他三个硕士项目：Msc in Financial Analysis, MSc in Investment Management, MSc in Information System Management 都是Part-time的，也就是只有香港本地学生才能申请的。

Message  from  the  Director
The Master of Science (MSc) in Economics Program offered by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has been a successful innovation that provides well-balanced academic and applied training in the subject. The program has two objectives. First, we provide solid economics and analytical training to students in order to prepare them for further pursuit of the highest academic degree (PhD) in any of the following subjects such as economics, accounting, finance, marketing or management. Second, the variety of applied courses offered in the program equips students with sufficient knowledge to enter the job market and benefit from the good employment opportunities in Hong Kong, Mainland China and elsewhere.

The MSc in Economics Program takes advantage of the high standards of research and teaching of the University. Using English as the medium of instruction, the Program is on a par with other economics programs offered internationally. Currently there are students coming to our program from the Canada, France, Germany, United States, Mainland China and Hong Kong. The Business School of HKUST, and its Economics Department, has been repeatedly recognized as a leading force in the international research arena.

Our professors, many of them are leading economics researchers, are dedicated to developing students with a balance of applied and analytical skills. We have been successful in placing graduates to a number of good universities in North America, Europe and Asia for PhD Programs. Graduates taking a more practical route have been placed successfully with large commercial banks, investment banks and Big 4 accounting firms. In the past, some of our students from the Mainland China were able to find jobs with Hong Kong employers such as the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Cathay Pacific Airlines. Their study and living experience in Hong Kong will be an asset to them even if they return to the Mainland for job opportunities.

We warmly welcome you to understand more about our Program and the opportunities that come with it. Join us. Together we will work with you to achieve your educational goals and beyond.
