MF (Master of Finance)

SUFE-DAFI’s Master of Finance programme offers three specializations: International Financial Engineering (SUFE-DAFI – Berkeley), Cross-Border Finance, and ESG.

I. International Financial Engineering (SUFE-DAFI – Berkeley)

It aims to develop top financial professionals who have global strategic vision, a methodical grasp of financial knowledge, and proficiency in quantitative research and practical operations. SUFE-DAFI, through its close partnership with the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley Haas), introduces several core courses from Berkeley Haas’ Master of Financial Engineering programme every year. Each class of students are required to complete at least four of them. Those who finish the required Berkeley courses with passing grades will be awarded a Course Completion Certificate by the University of California, Berkeley.

II. Cross-Border Finance

It aims to develop individuals with comprehensive knowledge and expertise  in cross-border finance and to prepare students for careers requiring cross-border financial market insights, international thinking and worldwide collaboration capabilities. Students will be taught with core knowledge in cross-border finance, including international financial regulations, cross-border capital flows, and risk management, in addition to being able to employ pertinent tools and techniques with proficiency. Moreover, we emphasize on cultivating students’ global vision and international thinking. Through cross-border practical projects and international exchanges and cooperation, students will be able to flexibly address cross-border financial challenges, drive businesses’ international expansion, and foster collaboration and prosperity in the global economy.

III. ESG

It aims to produce financial experts with professional ethics and social responsibility, allowing students to have a thorough understanding of environment, society and governance. By studying cutting-edge economical and financial theories on a global scale, students will gain a broad global perspective, understand patterns in the international financial market, and master systematic financial knowledge in order to adapt to the ever-changing ESGF demands and serve China’s “double carbon” system.
