Wu Weixing:Dear netizens, I am Wu Weixing, dean of the w88 casino of Finance at the w88 casino. Welcome everyone to pay attention to w88 casino of Finance, w88 casino!
The development history of the w88 casino of Finance
Moderator:Dean Wu, actually we want to invite you here today, mainly to answer questions for some of our candidates. By the way, because there are many candidates, we all know that finance is a very popular major now, and many students may be inclined to choose our major. I would like to ask what the development of w88 casino, our major, our college, the w88 casino of Finance, has been like from history to the present.
Wu Weixing:Thank you host. w88 casino of Finance at the w88 casino was established on the basis of the former China University of Finance and Economics, which was1987Established in year,1987year9Enrollment will start in March. At that time, it was established under the leadership of Vice Chairman Chen Muhua, and its first dean was Professor Liu Hongru, who was also the first chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. When the China Institute of Finance was first established, some famous professors and scholars from financial institutions such as the People's Bank of China and universities across the country were introduced to w88 casino of Finance. At that time, our first five-year plan was to spread the seeds of modern finance to all parts of the country. After approx.30With years of development, our discipline construction and talent training are now at the forefront of the country. In particular, our master's degree training program in finance has been ranked second in the country by the National Educational Instruction Committee.
Department Introduction
Moderator:It is an honor to have you come and give us such a detailed explanation. You just talked about the overall situation of w88 casino. In fact, we attach great importance to the majors in the college. Can you give us a detailed introduction to the majors? What are their characteristics?
Wu Weixing:Currently, our college has three main majors: Finance, Financial Engineering, and Investment. In fact, each major has many directions. For example, our Department of Finance is the most classic department and the largest department in w88 casino of Finance. The departments include monetary banking, international finance, commercial bank management and other directions. Most of the teachers in the Finance Department have experience working in the Bank of China, the National Bank of China, the National Bank of China, the National Bank of China, the National Bank of China, the National Bank of China, the National People’s Congress, the National People’s Congress, the People’s Bank of China, and commercial banks. At the same time, most of the new teachers have experience in studying abroad. The teaching staff is very strong, and the team of finance teachers has won the title of National Excellent Teacher Team. The Department of Financial Engineering is a relatively new department,200315134_15276200615304_15367
Core Competencies of w88 casino of Finance
Moderator:Just now, our Dean Wu told us very interestingly about the majors in their college that are both modern and suitable for technical geeks to apply for. In fact, we all know that finance is very popular, so many schools have also opened such majors. There are even some old and very competitive schools that have such departments. What are the core competencies of w88 casino’s major and this college? In other words, what is unique about it?
Wu Weixing:This is a very good question and one that our college administrators often consider. The first feature of our college is that we are very closely integrated with practice, because when we were first founded, we were the China Institute of Finance, which was jointly established by the People's Bank of China and eight financial institutions. At that time, many teachers were transferred directly from the practice department, so they knew the practice very well. As the college develops, we have always paid attention to maintaining this feature. We pay special attention to the fact that our teachers should be in close contact with the practice units and take on relevant topics at the same time. We not only require teachers in the college to undertake key projects at the provincial, ministerial and national levels, but also to cooperate with China Development Bank, Export-Import Bank and other financial institutions. We hope that by taking on these topics, we can work with the financial industry to create more financial knowledge for society and help the industry develop. So that's an important feature of ours. Another important feature is the international feature, which is also the feature of our entire w88 casino. Because our w88 casino has a large number of international students, and a large number of our teachers are imported from abroad, our training programs are basically based on Harvard,MITand other internationally renowned universities. We're going to compete with them. For our students, there are many assessment links, and we also hope that they can compete with world-class universities. For example, the most recent international quantitative trading competition we participated in was organized by the University of Toronto, Harvard University, etc.MITInternational schools like this also participated. After we participated, our ranking was also very good. Our algorithmic trading was ranked second in the world.
CFADetailed explanation of specialties
Moderator:Achieving such an achievement is very proud and exciting. I noticed that our college has obtainedCFA, which is the certification of Financial Analyst Certification. I don’t know what this certification means to our industry?
Wu Weixing:actuallyCFAThe specialty major is the experimental class we run. Our college has been doing some exploration in this area, that is, we hope that our programs will not remain unchanged for ten years. In fact, our training programs change almost every year, or every two years. Finance is a very fast-growing industry. The basic qualities of financial talents almost ten years ago are completely different from those of today. We hope to keep up with international development in a short period of time.CFAThe experimental class is a concrete measure of ours.CFAIt is an international professional certification in the financial industry, which can be obtained by passing the examCFA's certificate. We are based on this certificate, but we are not limited to this certificate. The international certificate is relatively comprehensive in practical aspects, but we feel that it is not in-depth enough. We hope that our courses will be more in-depth than it. We set up at the undergraduate levelCFAThe experimental class is to select some particularly outstanding students to enter this experimental class, so that under the guidance of a group of outstanding teachers, they can lay a broad and solid foundation and become first-class elite talents. There are many similar experimental classes, andFRM, quantitative finance experimental class, are all launched in recent years based on the needs of practice.
International exchange training project
Moderator:In addition to these experimental classes, we have just noticed that you said that our subject setting and subject background are all practical and international. Let me sum it up: In fact, we are a profession that is both low-key, luxurious, and connotative. For such a low-key, luxurious and connotative profession, are there any more high-end training programs? Programs and training for international exchange of students.
Wu Weixing:First of all, our students are generally very strong in foreign languages. To give an example of one of my own students, she applied to Cornell University, but unfortunately she was not admitted in the first round. She went directly to call the director of admissions at Cornell University. After chatting with her for a few words, the director of admissions admitted her immediately. The reason was that her English was really good and her understanding of finance was really good. This student later went to Columbia University to study for a PhD in finance and was very good. Many projects are contacted by students themselves, and we have also been establishing long-term relationships with some top foreign universities. At the same time, we will establish ties with universities at different levels to provide college students with different grades with opportunities to study abroad.
Course Settings
Moderator:As you just said, our financial development is actually changing very quickly. As our economy develops and integrates with international standards, it is indeed changing all the time. Of course, I think this is a test and a challenge for our discipline setting. Are there some changes in the curriculum of our college? In other words, how are our courses arranged?
Wu Weixing:This is also a good question and a difficult question. Because the core of this subject has a changing side and a constant side. The unchanging side is the core of economics, mathematics and English. These are basically unchanged, and we will keep the core parts unchanged. But the practical application side is changing very quickly. We cannot judge very early which subjects and courses may be eliminated, so we provide modules one after another. That is to say, if students focus on which direction, we will provide them with modular courses, such as commercial banking modules, financial engineering modules, and investment banking modules. Some of these modules are very rich, allowing students to make their own choices. Ultimately we believe in our outstanding students and that they can make good choices based on their own circumstances. Slowly, our curriculum system evolved as we interacted with students.
Teaching staff
Moderator:We also know that the finance major is a very advantageous major at our w88 casino, but I think this advantage is definitely inseparable from the advantages of our teachers. What is the current situation of teachers in our college?
Wu Weixing:It should be said that compared with other schools, the important features of our finance faculty are large scale, more people, and full-time teachers70Multiple people. We have recently been introducing first-class financial scientists like Professor Yin Jianfeng, and we are also introducing first-class financial scientists from around the world, striving to build a teaching staff that can compete with first-class international universities. Specifically, I think there are three characteristics of our teachers: The first is that we are relatively practical, that is, most of the teachers, as I mentioned to you just now, have practical experience. They know how the financial system operates in practice, and they can teach students the most practical knowledge and skills. The second is that we are relatively highly internationalized, especially the new teachers, who basically have international education backgrounds. They bring back advanced experience from abroad. The setting of our training program is also international. Basically, the core knowledge structure of the program must be compared with that of first-class international universities. We strive to design professional training programs that have both international standards and Chinese characteristics; the third feature is that compared to some established institutions, w88 casino of Finance at the w88 casino is relatively young.3028060_28161
Moral education work
Moderator:We mentioned the interaction between teachers and students. In fact, it is a process of promoting students outside the classroom to be able to be in the classroom. I think this is an internalization process from the outside to the inside. We have noticed that on the website of our college, including when we enter the college, we can see the inscription "Create a new generation of bankers" written by Mr. Chen Yun. Since I think it is placed on the website of our college, it shows that we have always wanted to uphold such a spirit. We all know that the banker's spirit is not only about knowing how to use financial knowledge, but also the inner and internalized spirit we just mentioned. In fact, we always talk about university education. Curriculum education is one aspect, and the cultivation of morality and intelligence is another very important aspect, especially for those who are engaged in finance. What measures does our college take to cultivate students' morality and intelligence?
Wu Weixing:This is a very good question. Because the China Institute of Finance was born at that time, the w88 casino was named after Comrade Deng Xiaoping. Just now you mentioned that Comrade Chen Yun put forward requirements for our college to cultivate a new generation of bankers. Such an inscription also encourages us to make progress. Our original w88 casino name was China University of Finance and Economics. The activities that our students often organize and the activities organized by our Youth League Committee and Party Committee all emphasize the need to have China in our hearts. w88 casino of Finance is not just about cultivating people who work for the prosperity of their families, of course this is also necessary. What we emphasize more is that we must have a Chinese heart, be able to lead the development of China's financial system, and make our own contributions to the development of China's national economy. We also often let them communicate with first-class alumni who are doing well in the financial industry. We are also one of the few universities that can arrange alumni mentors for every undergraduate. These alumni teach these undergraduates their understanding of China, their understanding of work, and their understanding of the industry in the actual work process. These undergraduates will naturally cultivate a spirit of contribution to the country, the industry, and the enterprise.
“International style” finance student
Moderator:Our current students, in fact, we say that alumni are a kind of resource, but the atmosphere of alumni is actually a tradition. One question I want to ask you is, what are the characteristics and characteristics of our current students, students in our college?
Wu Weixing:I am here2011New Year's Eve2012I visited Columbia University in 2011. During the visit, a professor talked about what kind of people he was looking for as teaching assistants and research assistants. He said that if he was looking for Chinese students, he would definitely look for those from the w88 casino. I asked him why? He said that our students at the w88 casino are more open-minded and cohesive, can unite a group of people to work together, and have very strong language skills. Our students can indeed easily enter an industry and get started quickly, which is a very important feature of us. Our students have relatively strong practical skills. For example, those of us who study financial engineering have relatively strong mathematical skills and computer skills; those of us who study finance have relatively strong skills in industry analysis. Generally speaking, it is relatively strong in practical skills. In addition, our students have a relatively high degree of internationalization. We often hold international conferences, and our teaching team also hires some economists from international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund to be our part-time teachers. They have a judgment that our students have an international style, are familiar with international rules, and know how to deal with international colleagues. This is the characteristic of students in our college and w88 casino.
Internship practice project
Moderator:A very important point is that because of these practices and some practices within the w88 casino, we can have direct dialogue with the international community outside the w88 casino. When it comes to practice, we all say that people who study finance must understand both the industry and the industry. Therefore, these two understandings are combined with some of the practical projects and practical competitions you just mentioned in our college. I would like you to talk about this in more detail and what other practical activities our college has.
Wu Weixing:We are very rich in this aspect. For example, we have cooperated with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China for many years to organize financial product creative design competitions, and President Yi Huiman has personally provided guidance. These students gained a lot of knowledge from the entrepreneurship competition, communicated with other brother universities, showed themselves and made progress. Teacher Song Guoliang of our college and a group of senior teachers have made a lot of efforts in guiding students to innovate and start businesses. Our student team also won the gold medal in the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. In fact, it is not easy to start a business in the financial industry. The main reason is that the wages in the financial industry are relatively high and employees are unwilling to leave the traditional financial industry. We do not encourage students to start innovation and entrepreneurship immediately after graduation, but we hope that students will have this ability, and we also design some learning cases for students. On the other hand, you just mentioned that we in finance must be familiar with the industry. Every semester, we invite people from the industry to tell them what each industry is like. Sometimes we invite wind energy professors to talk about how China uses wind energy, how countries around the world use wind energy, and what the development prospects of wind energy are. We ask wine experts to tell our students how the wine industry develops. We also invite people from the sports world to talk about the laws of the sports industry, such as Zheng Haixia, who talks about basketball and their ideas about sports development. Allowing students to be exposed to the development laws of different industries and then combining it with our financial knowledge may be more beneficial to students' development.
College development positioning and goals
Moderator:What you just mentioned are some opportunities that we are very eager to get. Therefore, it is very enviable that our college can provide such high-quality services to our students. In fact, we have all said that the development of a college must be closely related to its goals and positioning. So the next question I’m afraid I have to ask you is, what is our college’s positioning after it has developed so far? And what is our goal?
Wu Weixing:This is the most important question. I think there are two goals. One goal is that our teachers should be able to stand on the front line of financial research. China is a country with great changes in financial development, and the financial system is constantly undergoing reforms. w88 casino was formerly known as the China Institute of Finance. I hope that the teachers in w88 casino of finance can make suggestions for China’s financial reform and development. In this process, w88 casino can provide intellectual support for the development of China’s finance, lead the progress of China’s financial industry, and lead the development of China’s financial system. This is the first goal. The second goal is to cultivate truly first-class students. One of our concepts is that our students must not say that we are in China. We find a job and earn a good income. We hope that our students must be able to represent China and compete with world-class students, and be no less than these world-class students. Our student resources are the same as those of world-class college students. If our students are not the same as them or even better than them after graduation, it is a deficiency in our education. We want our education to do this.
Employment situation
Moderator:The point you made is very important. We are on the same platform, but we cannot have core competitiveness. It is indeed a great regret for our education. You just talked about this, our graduates are going out. In fact, a topic that many of us candidates may be very concerned about now is our employment and our export issues. How is the exit of our college now? What is the employment situation like?
Wu Weixing:Because we have a relatively good source of students and those in finance, China's finance has developed very rapidly in the past ten years. Employment in the financial industry is not a difficult problem. At present, the number of undergraduate students in our college is about42%Some of them have already gone abroad, like Colombia,MITThere are probably some universities where you can continue to study for master’s and doctoral degrees30%About one-third of students go to domestic universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, National People's Congress, and the w88 casino to study for master's degrees or doctoral degrees, but less than one-third are employed. In fact, from the perspective of the overall needs of the financial system, employment is not a big problem. We hope that students will not only look at the salary, because the salary in the financial industry is generally relatively high. We hope that they can truly lead the development of the financial industry and be able to work in some more important or innovative financial institutions or companies to use their wisdom. This is our expectation for them.
Netizen question session:
Special training programs for masters and doctoral students
Moderator:It is really enviable to hear your answer. When good schools and good majors discuss employment issues, they no longer focus on the whereabouts of employment. There is a place to go, and they focus more on a better platform and a more competitive platform. Now we come to the last part, which is the question-asking part of netizens. What netizens are particularly concerned about is whether the w88 casino of Finance of the w88 casino has some good programs for masters. I would also like to ask you to introduce some good programs for masters or doctoral studies.
Wu Weixing:The w88 casino has a complete training system for undergraduates, masters, doctoral students, and postdoctoral students. The master's degree should be among the best in the country. According to the recent rankings of the National Finance Professional Master Education Steering Committee, we are ranked second. We have spent a lot of effort on master's degree training. The first is modular course design. We have designed different modules in various directions of finance, so that students can have enough opportunities to choose. Our training is also a two-way choice plus double mentors. Students can choose tutors, and teachers can also choose students. In this way, teachers and students can have a harmonious relationship and make progress together. Dual mentors mean that each student can choose an academic mentor and an industry mentor. They will not only have someone to guide them academically, but they will also have someone to lead them in the industry. In terms of master's programs, we are constantly designing various latest projects. For example, in the quantitative investment project, during the training process we have introduced experts from the Beijing investment community, who come to the w88 casino on weekends to give free classes to students. Of course, one of the goals of these executives taking classes may be to introduce outstanding talents. Our doctoral program is not large in scale, but in addition to our own outstanding teachers, our faculty has also introduced industry leaders with rich industry experience, such as the director of the research bureau of the central bank, the director of the central bank research institute, and the chairman of the China Development Bank, to train doctoral students with us, hoping that the doctoral students will truly become future stars in this industry.
Message from the Dean
Moderator:Time passed very quickly, but I am very grateful to Dean Wu for his very enthusiastic, detailed and vivid introduction to the general situation of our college. Next, we would like you to send some of your messages to some candidates who are about to take the exam and their parents.
