The Undergraduate Dual Degree (Finance & Financial Technology) Programme is the first in-depth cooperation between mainland China and Hong Kong universities to establish a complete undergraduate dual-degree program.

The programme is jointly cultivated by the Faculty of Engineering (Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Antai College of Economics and Management (SJTU-BOC Institute of Technology and Finance) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

The programme aims to cultivate innovative high-end financial technology professionals for the financial and technology industries. These professionals will have a solid foundation in economic and financial theory, grasp the underlying logic of economic and financial analysis and engineering thinking, and possess excellent data modeling and data analysis capabilities, with a sense of social responsibility and an international perspective.

·Study Pattern

The dual degree in Fin-Tech & Finance is structured as a "2+2" programme, with the 1st and 4th academic years spent at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the 2nd and 3rd academic years at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

·Admissions

A collaborative admissions committee is established to develop and implement shared admission criteria and processes. The enrollment scale is 30 students per cohort, of which The Chinese University of Hong Kong enrolls 15 students, including students from Hong Kong, Macao, and international students; Shanghai Jiao Tong University enrolls 15 students, all of whom are from mainland China.

·Curriculum Structure

The programme adheres to a comprehensive curriculum.
