It is uniquely positioned to contribute to the region’s intellectual infrastructure. This role serves in supporting the region’s established capital markets and institutions, and in contributing to the emerging fin-tech landscape.

Our students benefit from rigorous training in applied and theoretical finance, supported by access to cutting-edge technical and hardware facilities. The Department’s strong visibility and international profile reflects faculty members’ prowess in the fields of education and research. Faculty colleagues’ success in publishing applied research findings in leading journals emphasises its important contribution to scholarship. The Department of Finance also recognises the overarching role of community stakeholders. In addition to its important connection with students and alumni, we cultivate links with leading employers, government, regulatory bodies and other internationally-recognised universities/research institutions. This function ensures that the Department’s students not only receive a first-rate education, but also enjoy access to important resources in the local, regional and international financial communities.

The department offers four undergraduate programmes, including BBA in Insurance, Financial and Actuarial Analysis, BSc in Global Economics and Finance, BSc in Quantitative Finance and BSc in Quantitative Finance and Risk Management Science. And for postgraduates, we have MSc in Actuarial Science and Insurance Analytics, MSc in Finance and MPhil-PhD in Finance.
