Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Finance 理學士(計量金融)
BSc(QFin)
Short Description
The Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Finance [BSc(QFin)] is a premium finance programme. Built on a solid foundation in economics and finance, the BSc(QFin) programme equips students with the essential quant skills, such as mathematics, statistics, and programming, that are required in more advanced and sophisticated analyses, such as valuation models of structured products, risk management, simulation and data analysis, financial engineering, and quantitative trading.
The programme goes beyond merely equipping students with quant skills. More importantly, it stresses on combining these skills with an understanding of the financial markets, the macro environment, and the practical situations where financial managers work. To this end, the curriculum offers a balanced mix of quant and business courses.
In the first two years students take basic finance courses such as accounting, corporate finance, macroeconomics, derivatives, and portfolio management. At the same time, they are introduced to a strong foundation in probability, statistics, calculus, linear algebra, and computer programming.
Students will apply the aforementioned quant skills in specialised QFin courses the third and fourth years of study, such as risk management, financial engineering, spreadsheet financial modelling, and mathematical finance. They can also choose from a wide selection of major elective courses such as time series analysis, big data and quant trading.
We believe that a broad knowledge base is essential for undergraduate students to understand the world in depth, absorb new ideas quickly, and think outside the box and from multiple perspectives. Hence the programme affords much flexibility to students to pursue other academic interests via second major or minor(s), whether they are mathematics, economics, or biochemistry.
To nurture students’ soft skills and market acumen, the programme provides a wide range of value-enhancing activities, such as Round Tables with Practitioners, Alumni Drinks, Executive Mentorship Scheme, Bloomberg training workshops, simulation trading workshops, and an international field trip to other international financial centres such as New York, London and Zurich.
