Global Finance (MS)
Program Description
The Master of Science in Global Finance Program is a ground-breaking educational joint venture between NYU Stern School of Business and Hong Kong University's Science and Technology Business School (HKUST Business School). The program brings together two world-renowned business schools and two of the world's most important finance centers. Graduates earn a single Master of Science degree issued jointly by NYU Stern and Hong Kong University and have access to each school’s alumni network.
Faculties from both schools share teaching – and their insights – equally. This one-year part-time program kicks off and ends at HKUST’s picturesque campus in Hong Kong with two intensive learning modules in New York that give participants the opportunity to experience two world financial centers. The learning module in Shanghai provides a superb learning experience in the largest emerging market in the world.
Participants in the program dramatically enrich their knowledge of finance and develop a deep understanding of the latest trends in the global financial markets. Students aim at improving their overall effectiveness, as well as their competitiveness, in the finance industry. The program provides a truly rewarding learning experience enabling participants to take advantage of the transformation underway in the Asia-Pacific region.
