Bachelor of Economics and Finance [BEcon&Fin]
The BEcon&Fin programme combines the strengths of both the BEcon and BFin programmes. The programme recognises the significance of economics both in its own right and as a foundation for the study of finance, and the significance of finance as a career path for student in Hong Kong. As a result, students are required to study all the core courses that are prerequisites for both the BEcon and BFin programmes.

Faculty of Economics
FEUI was established in September 18, 1950, when the Social-Economics Department of UILaw Faculty separated itself to become UI’s Faculty of Economics. At the same time, the students of the National Academy, who also studied economics science, merged with the newly-established faculty. Those students were the first class of FEUI. Uniquely, the three-hundred students were taught by limited-number of teaching staff, and the students themselves managed all the administration business.
