OUR PROGRAMMES
We employ the latest and best pedagogy for education including blended learning with programmes conducted in state-of-the-art facilities and hands-on experiential learning.
OUR FOCUS
We groom ethical, high-quality and job-ready finance professionals with a global mind-set for the finance industry.
Our Initiatives
The department works closely with ABFER, an institute which provides platforms for globally prominent academics, practitioners and policymakers to exchange deep insights on pertinent Asian issues within the global context. We also collaborate with Asian Institute of Digital Finance, a research centre that focus on digital financial technologies, as well as Credit Rating Initiatives (CRI) that provides credit risk measures for both academic and professional communities. The most recent effort is the establishment of Sustainable and Green Finance Institute (SGFIN) in NUS, which leads the research and educational programmes for a more sustainable and green economy in Singapore and beyond.
A Good Foundation
The programme allows students to develop a sound financial base through a combination of class lectures, discussions, projects and cases, all of which provide a good foundation to enter the ever-changing financial sector. This journey has allowed me to further develop my network, particularly in Asia.
