What is a diploma? This is not an ordinary piece of paper. This piece of paper will be classified according to the level of education, which largely determines what kind of job you can find and what kind of life you can start. Educational background is not only the stepping stone to work, but also the main basis for determining the level of salary. Promotion and social status depend on academic qualifications. Large companies tend to favor highly educated talents when recruiting, not because a high degree will definitely lead to good performance, but because they will solve problems through continuous learning during the work process. If you are working in the financial field, have you considered continuing to study to make up for the shortcomings brought about by your academic qualifications? The Academy of Social Sciences and the Tulane University Master of Financial Management program provide you with a platform for on-the-job postgraduate study.
Someone said: "There are at least two things in this world, and only those who have them are qualified to say that they are not important: one is money and the other is academic qualifications." Education is the courage when you decide to run wildly, the oxygen for you to dive deep into the sea, the physical strength for long-distance running, and the confidence for you to gallop in the workplace. The struggle in life is not the starting point, but the endurance of persistence and the speed of growth. Continuous learning ability allows you to grow faster.
As the first Sino-foreign cooperative education program of the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (Graduate School), the Master of Financial Management program has been in development for 11 years and has been successfully held for 10 sessions. A total of nearly 400 graduates have been trained, and a group of outstanding students have been trained for the national financial industry. professionals.
Financial professionals who have worked for many years may find that their existing knowledge reserves are insufficient when facing a rapidly changing industry, and hope to study more systematically and conduct research on a certain key topic. Professionals who return to graduate school with such a goal will often bring the theoretical knowledge they have learned back to the workplace, so that they can truly apply what they have learned, which has strong practical significance.
The lecturers of the project come from the experts, scholars and teachers of the Institute of Finance, Economics, and Financial Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and senior people with more than ten years of relevant experience in the financial industry as industry mentors; the project also invites well-known State-owned enterprise CFOs teach students. They are the leaders of various financial institutions and enterprises, covering banking, securities, insurance, funds, etc. Guided by the tutors, not only can lead students to understand the rapidly changing financial environment with a high-level vision, but also broaden students' horizons with rich practical cases, so as to better guide practice.
Tulane University's partners in the global financial industry and the long-term deep relationship between the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and financial institutions have jointly integrated into a global financial social platform. In such an atmosphere, students will be able to taste the realm of study and life like ducks in water. Both the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Freeman School of Business of Tulane University have rich alumni resources. Students of the Master of Financial Management program will become alumni of the two schools. Through the global alumni network platform, they will expand their network resources and usher in new opportunities for career development. .
Professor Hu Bin, the promoter of the Tulane Master of Finance Program of the Academy of Social Sciences, once said: The main source of students for the Master of Financial Management Program of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Tulane University in the United States will come from the financial industry, accounting for about 70%, and the remaining 100%. Thirty percent will come from the energy sector. Energy finance was very popular at the time, and it was also an advantageous direction of the Academy of Social Sciences. But the admitted students came from all walks of life, some were lawyers, some were from the real estate industry, and some were in the media or art before. Even people who already hold an MBA or EMBA degree also apply. They feel that they just laid a foundation and established contacts before, but they still need to make up for specific financial work.
Tulane University hopes that the Academy of Social Sciences will not limit the academic background of applicants, because undergraduate graduates of any major in the United States can apply for the Master of Finance program. The Academy of Social Sciences was initially worried about whether these students with no financial background could cope with the high-intensity curriculum, but later found that the worry was unnecessary. These non-financial students often have real learning motivation. Some of them hope to change careers and enter the financial industry, or their industries often deal with finance, but they lack relevant knowledge, and some are starting their own businesses. For the development of the company, finance has become a part that must be understood. However, students who really apply with a background in the financial industry often need academic qualifications or network resources, and their purpose is very pragmatic. Students who are interested in this program often have stable careers and do not want to be out of touch with the workplace due to study.
As a think tank for China's policymakers, the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences not only has a team of teachers who are proficient in financial theory, but also familiar with the operation of the financial system under China's national conditions. The direction of the financial industry has a macro grasp and precise prediction.
Partner The Freeman School of Business of Tulane University in the United States is one of the top business schools in the United States and has been established for a hundred years. Accumulated rich experience in personnel training, and in an American-style educational atmosphere, based on case teaching, a set of methods focusing on cultivating practical ability has been formed, which is an extremely beneficial supplement for Chinese students studying finance.
In a sense, the Master of Finance program can be the forerunner of think tank reform. Students participating in the program have rich working experience, and most of them place their long-term career development in China. Our Master of Finance program allows students to gain an in-depth understanding of the latest developments in the international financial industry, the forefront of academic research, and current trends in the world without interrupting their work, and comprehensively learn and master new technologies in current international financial operations , new policies, and new theories are undoubtedly a very wise and far-sighted choice.
Some students may ask, do you have to be a group in the financial industry to apply for the exam?
American culture advocates openness and freedom, and students have the right to apply regardless of their background. The Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences-Tulane University’s master’s program in financial management is also a necessary professional platform for non-financial students’ career transition. The curriculum is also easy to learn. Those who have no financial foundation in deep finance can also understand and learn. 60% of the students come from the financial industry, and 40% come from all walks of life. The students come to MFIN for different purposes. There are successful entrepreneurs who have been immersed in the financial industry for many years and have successfully established their own companies. Some students I already have a degree in finance and have already obtained a finance MBA from Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business. I came to MFIN because I want to get to know more professionals in the industry or outside the industry, or to get to know some network resources inside or outside the circle through the school. There are also students because of the needs of the company's business development. For example, some students' companies are preparing to go public, or some students need to supplement financial professional knowledge because they are newly appointed as the leaders of the investment department. Some students who have already worked in financial institutions may want to further enhance their professionalism through MFIN and lay a foundation for future development in companies or industries. These students have been in the financial industry or the existing industry for many years and have achieved success. It is the icing on the cake for them to study at MFIN.
For non-financial students who study MFIN, they want to make a career transition. By studying MFIN, they can have better career development opportunities. For these students, the school arranges the study of basic financial knowledge so that they can better adapt to the learning and mastery of classroom knowledge in the future.
