The University of Hong Kong
Bachelor of Finance [BFin]

The BFin programme provides students with a solid training in economic and finance theory and applications, as well as quantitative tools to handle and solve problems in financial markets and institutions. The Faculty takes the stance that the study of finance is an outgrowth of economics and therefore a thorough understanding of financial issues that requires knowledge of economics is a prerequisite. The BFin programme requires students to finish two years of economic theory in addition to standard finance courses such as corporate finance, investment theory, derivatives and risk management.
