"FinTech" has become a global buzzword as digitalization transforms payments, lending, investments, regulation, and monetary systems. Businesses are increasingly seeking graduates with interdisciplinary expertise in both finance and technology, making FinTech a highly sought-after field of study.

This academic year, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) have joined forces to launch a new dual-degree undergraduate program in Financial Technology (FinTech) and Finance, leveraging the strengths of both institutions. With HK and Shanghai being leading international financial hubs, the program aims to broaden students' global perspectives through immersive learning experiences in both cities.

An information session about the program will take place on May 17, offered both online and offline, to provide prospective students with details about the curriculum and admissions.

The program is open to students sitting for the 2025 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) and international applicants. Successful candidates will spend their 1st and 4th academic years at SJTU and their 2nd and 3rd years at CUHK, culminating in two bachelor's degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering in Financial Technology from CUHK and a Bachelor of Economics in Finance from SJTU.

The info session will feature keynote speeches by the deans of both universities, seasoned industry professionals, distinguished alumni, and current students. Additionally, HK Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, will deliver a special address. Attendees will gain insights into the program's objectives, unique advantages, curriculum structure, and career prospects. There will also be opportunities for face-to-face discussions with professors and alumni to help students better plan their academic and career paths.
