About Us

Financial Technology (FinTech) is an emerging engineering discipline that focuses on employing technological innovations in financial practices. Leveraging on the cutting-edge developments of engineering, particularly information technology and data sciences, it demonstrates an unprecedented potential to revolutionize the nature of the traditional financial service industry in a fundamental way.

Our programme features a strong collaboration between Faculty of Engineering and the Faculties of Business Administration, Law, and Social Science. This multi-disciplinary training will equip students with both in-depth mastery of cutting-edge technical skills and a broad perspective on their applications and potential legal, economic, and societal impacts.

My name is Scarlett Cheng, and I am from Shanghai. I am set to graduate from the Fintech programme in 2024 and feel honoured to receive this scholarship. When I shifted my major to Fintech towards the end of my freshman year, I managed to gain access to a vast array of professional knowledge and industry resources. Overall, the programme’s focus on employment-oriented courses and activities has been beneficial for me, especially in cultivating my interest in the Web3 and metaverse industry, which has provided a clearer direction for my career path. To date, I have completed internships with three Internet companies, including TikTok. I look forward to applying the knowledge that I have gained in class to practical applications and creating value in the future.

My name is Hin Ching. I am a student enrolled in the dual-degree programme jointly offered by Chinese University of Hong Kong and Peking University, majoring in both Fintech and financial mathematics. Studying at these two top universities has been an invaluable experience for me, because both majors are fascinating in my opinion. The dual-degree programme provides not only extensive training in mathematical reasoning and modelling but also in-depth coverage of computer programming, technology, and many practical aspects. With solid training in both mathematics and technology, I can now solve problems in an interpretable, theoretically sound, and logically consistent manner. I truly value this capability because it strengthens my mind and helps me work more efficiently whenever I face a new challenge. I believe that these benefits will motivate me to further my studies and pursue my career and life goals.
