Brief History

Introduction

     The Department of Finance aims to cultivate professionals who are future leaders in banking- and security-related industries. To cultivate superior talents for this purpose, the core of our curriculum focuses on corporate finance, financial derivatives, portfolio management, behavioral finance, and financial data analysis. We also emphasize teamwork abilities, effective communication skills, and global perspective. In addition, the Department of Finance places considerable emphasis on students’ practical skills by providing them with intern programs in banking, security, insurance, and finance-related companies in Taiwan, Mainland China, or other countries. To enhance students’ global perspective, the Department of Finance also provides international student exchange programs such that students can learn different cultures from around the world. Well-organized course design, high-quality professors, as well as abundant international financial databases, resources, and equipment support our goals. Owing to the Department of Finance’s comprehensive training program, alumni from our department, spread across all realms in Taiwan as well as abroad, have contributed much to the development of financial industries.
