CCU Finance aims to equip students with essential analytical skills to deal with increasingly complex and global financial issues. To achieve this goal, the Department designs and organizes a series of courses that cover a broad array of subjects into three learning modules: Corporate Finance, Financial Institutions and Risk Management, and Investment Management and Financial Innovations. By coordinating with the departments of complementary disciplines in the university, CCU Finance offers five additional interdisciplinary tracks to expand students’ knowledge base: Finance and Law, Finance and Accounting, Finance and Management, Finance and MIS, as well as Finance and Economics. Beyond offering well-designed academic courses, the Department regularly holds company visits and builds cooperative relationships with leading enterprises to provide students with opportunities for internship to enhance their understanding of the principles and practice of finance.
