The BSc in Quantitative Finance and Risk Management Science programme (QFRM) is jointly administered by the Department of Finance and the Department of Statistics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. It combines the strengths and features of two well-established and highly successful programmes from the respective departments: the Quantitative Finance programme and the Risk Management Science programme. The programme is consistently ranked at the top in terms of admission credentials among all quantitatively related programmes in Hong Kong and together with programmes like Global Business Studies and Medicine in CUHK.

As a major financial service centre, Hong Kong has a growing demand for professionals with both quantitative finance and risk management science background. The programme provides state-of-the-art training in business and finance, risk management science, mathematics and statistics, and computing applications. By offering comprehensive academic and professional training, the programme aims to nurture competent finance and risk management professionals who can work in investment banking, corporate and commercial banking, consulting, accounting and financial services, as well as in general management in the financial and government sectors. In addition to our tailor-made coaching schemes, students are also encouraged to participate in overseas exchanges and internships.

The programme has established strong networks and partnerships with the finance industry over the years. Outstanding performance during internship renders strong motives for companies to offer our students permanent positions upon graduation. The programme also enables students to build up a solid theoretical background for pursuing further study at the Master or PhD levels in economics, finance, actuarial science and insurance, mathematics, statistics and risk management science.

The School of Mathematics at University of Edinburgh (UoE) has an agreement with the Department of Statistics at CUHK, which allows students to study mathematics at the undergraduate level for two years at CUHK and then transfer to UoE to complete two additional years of study. The QFRM programme is one of the programmes under the ‘2+2’ agreement, and eligible students may apply for the dual degree programme. On successful completion of the fourth year at Edinburgh, students will graduate with two bachelor’s degrees, one each from CUHK and UoE.
