“In recent years, Financial Technology (“FinTech”) has been developing rapidly across the globe. China has undoubtedly emerged as a global leader in its burgeoning FinTech sector, spanning mobile payments, AI, blockchain, big data, RegTech, and other sub-fields. As FinTech continues to profoundly transform the traditional financial industry, it has become imperative for leading finance education institutions to keep pace with the trend by advancing FinTech education. At the same time, a growing number of international students are expressing strong interest in studying FinTech in China.

As the first institution in China to offer advanced finance programs, SFRUC feels a strong responsibility to design a comprehensive interdisciplinary FinTech curriculum to meet the rising demand for innovative talent in this field. Building on a decade of experience running our flagship International Master of Science in Finance (MSF) program, we now embark on a new journey—introducing the Master of Science in Financial Technology (“MSFT”)—in response to the call of this transformative FinTech era.“
