The Faculty of Finance (FOF) of the City University of Macau (CityU Macau) strives to strengthen collaborations with high-profile institutions to enrich students’ learning resources. In each academic year, the FOF invited renowned industry practitioners to share cutting-edge finance-related knowledge to enhance students’ professionalism at thematic seminars.
Since the beginning of this academic year, the FOF has invited experienced industry practitioners to host thirteen seminars at the campus. They included: Mr Ye Qiming, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Xiamen International Bank and Senior Adviser to the Board of Directors of Luso International Bank Ltd; Mr Liu Xiaofei, General Manager of the Treasury Department of Agricultural Bank of China Macao Branch; Mr Lan Yadong, Chairman of Hengqin Life Insurance Co Ltd; Mr Zhang Guoliang, General Manager of Personal Finance Department of Guangfa Bank Macau Branch; and Ms Cao Xiaomin, Deputy General Manager of Risk Management Department of Bank of China Macau Branch.
The seminars allowed students to learn more about business operations, the financial industry, banking industry, cross-border e-commerce, green finance, modern finance, and other fields. The seminars also provided opportunities for students to know more about development trends and opportunities in the finance industry. Through exchanging insights with the guest speakers, the students learned to bridge theories to practical experiences.
The academic development of CityU Macau highlights the local characteristics to cultivate market-oriented high-end talents to serve the development of Macao, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the country. The FOF provides the bachelor’s degree programme of Applied Economics, the master’s degree programme in Finance and the PhD programme in Finance. Each of them carries distinctive features.
The bachelor’s degree programme is designed based on the latest theories in economics and finance to cater to the need for the global trend of socio-economic development. The programme provides systematic education of professional knowledge with applied curricula to review economic and financial phenomena, analyse economic and financial problems, and study the laws of economics and finance. The postgraduate programmes adopt international perspectives to develop the study curricula. The courses highlight Featured Finance as its teaching objective to nurture students’ professionalism. It integrates experiential learning as the core education method and adopts blended learning as its teaching characteristics. The postgraduate courses employ examples from the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong- Macao Greater Bay Area as a learning basis to help students strengthen their expertise.
Looking ahead, the Faculty of Finance (FOF) will continue to collaborate with industry elites to organise seminars in cutting-edge areas such as green finance, cross-border financial management and technology finance.
