Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field involving financial theory, the methods of engineering, the tools of mathematics and the the practice of developing a program.

Stanford University's Department of Management Science and Engineering is proud to introduce an innovative Financial Engineering Program to Hong Kong. The six-month program provides part-time training in the application of engineering methodologies and quantitative methods to finance. The program, taught by Stanford faculty in Hong Kong, is designed for those/individuals who wish to obtain positions in the securities, banking, financial management and consulting industries, or as quantitative analysts in corporate treasury and finance departments of general manufacturing and service firms.

The courses run each month and the schedule of delivery will accommodate even the busiest of professionals. The program provides pathways for students to earn a master's degree from Stanford or other American universities upon successful admission. We also intend to create a financial engineering community. There will also be a financial engineering community as well as seminars on Financial Engineering where industry practitioners from top investment banks will present their recent research or particular specialty. Students will hear firsthand about life in the financial world.

First Graduation Ceremony
The first intake of 19 students graduated on March 30, 2008. A graduation party was held to celebrate the successful completion of the 5 modules program. Some students plan to apply for admission to the MS program. Students admitted to the MS program can complete the remainder of their study online while working full-time which is an attractive alternative to students with strong quantitative skills and focused career interests. For other students who will not further pursue the MS program study, the Stanford Financial Engineering Certificate program has given them a solid understanding and background in advanced financial skills.
