BSc in Economics and Finance 理學士(經濟及金融學)
ECOF
Short Description
The BSc Economics and Finance (ECOF) program provides a solid training in both economics and finance, with a strong emphasis on the use of quantitative methods and techniques. Compare to BBA Economics program, ECOF requires fewer business core courses.
Enjoying the synergy between economics and finance, students will be furnished with solid economic knowledge and essential quantitative skills to form an in-depth understanding of the modern economy and public policies. Students interested in economic research may enroll in the Honors Thesis Courses in their final year to further develop their research skills and take the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on their own research project.
Economics is a social science that studies people's decisions under constraints. It offers expertise in topics such as behavior of consumers and firms, efficiency and equity of markets, economic growth, business cycles, international trade and finance, taxation and public policies, etc. Important finance topics covered in the program include corporate finance, corporate valuation, investment analysis and portfolio management, derivative securities, financial markets and institutions, financial accounting, and international finance.
This program is suitable for students who aspire to enter into the fields that require strong analytical and quantitative skills, such as investment banks, consulting, data analysis, economists. The sophisticated analytical training and quantitative research also prepare students to pursue further studies.
Extended Major
ECOF students may apply for the extended major in Artificial Intelligence or Digital Media and Creative Arts at the end of the 3rd term of study, if they satisfy the extended major requirement. Students completing the extended major will graduate with a title bearing both the traditional major subject they selected and the extended major. For details, please refer to "JS5300 Business & Management".
Remarks:
The Year 1 curricula of JS5331 ECOF and JS5300 B&M are identical. JS5331 allows students who have a special interest in BSc ECOF to directly enter the major. Those admitted into JS5300 may apply to enter ECOF or other business majors via the major selection exercise held at the end of the first three terms. Students interested in ECOF should include either or both JS5331 and JS5300 in their program choices. Please click here for details of JS5300 Business and Management.
Interview is compulsory for admissions. Band A applicants who show talents and potentials for ECOF study will be invited to engagement activities and interviews in May–July 2025.
