HKUST Business School and NYU Stern School of Business
to Launch Joint Master of Science in Global Finance Program


March 9, 2007…The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s School of Business and Management (HKUST Business School) and New York University Stern School of Business (NYU Stern) announced today the launch of a joint Master of Science (MS) in Global Finance Program, to be offered in November this year.

The announcement was made as Professor K.C. Chan, Dean of the HKUST Business School, and Professor Edward Altman, Max L. Heine Professor of Finance, NYU Stern, signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the presence of Mr. Frederick Ma, Secretary for Financial Services and Treasury of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Professor Roland Chin, Acting Vice-President for Academic Affairs, HKUST.

This is the first joint degree program in which NYU Stern has collaborated with an Asian business school. Teaching will be shared among senior finance professors from both schools which are well-known internationally for their high standards and achievements in finance research.

Mr Frederick Ma said at the launch ceremony that, "The partnership between HKUST and NYU promises synergy for both schools and cities. I am sure this new finance-focused program will provide young professionals with unrivalled chances to enhance and sharpen their professionalism from world renowned professors based in Hong Kong and New York, two major financial markets in the world. Hong Kong welcomes talent to stay and work in our market."

Designed for finance executives in the Asia-Pacific region or for those who require the most up-to-date financial knowledge in their work, the MS in Global Finance Program will feature a part-time format and take 12 months to complete. Classes will be taught equally by faculty from both schools. The bulk of the courses will take place on the HKUST campus, and three intensive learning modules will take place on NYU Stern’s campus in New York City. Graduates will receive one diploma jointly conferred by HKUST and NYU Stern, and become alumni of both institutions.

Commenting on the collaboration, Dean K.C. Chan of the HKUST Business School said, “The partnership with NYU Stern is an important addition to our portfolio of business education programs that caters to high-performance executives based in this region. We hope this collaboration, together with the other world-class programs that we have already developed, will further enhance Hong Kong’s attractiveness to international talent based in the region.”
“The tremendous economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region is transforming the financial landscape, and with that growth has come a burgeoning need for financial talent. We are excited to collaborate with HKUST in developing this talent and to offer finance managers a singular opportunity to hone their skills in both Hong Kong and New York City – two major financial centers,” said Thomas Cooley, Dean of NYU Stern.


Both HKUST Business School and NYU Stern have experience in developing successful international partnership programs. In 1998, the HKUST Business School launched an Executive MBA program with Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. NYU Stern, together with the London School of Economics and HEC Paris, launched the TRIUM Global Executive MBA Program in 2001. Both programs are highly regarded and placed in the world’s top 5 in the latest annual rankings published by the Financial Times.

香港科技大學工商管理學院(科大商學院)與美國紐約大學Stern商學院(Stern商學院)今日(三月九日)宣佈合辦環球金融理學碩士課程，並將於本年十一月開班。

科大商學院院長陳家強教授及Stern商學院Max L. Heine講座教授Edward Altman於今日代表所屬學院就有關合作協議簽署諒解備忘錄。出席簽署儀式的包括香港特區政府財經事務及庫務局局長馬時亨先生及香港科技大學署理學術副校長錢大康教授。

今次是Stern商學院首次與一家亞洲院校合辦課程。Stern商學院及科大商學院在金融學的研究成就及整體辦學素質均飲譽國際。他們會委派資深的教授，擔任這新課程的教學工作。

財經事務及庫務局局長馬時亨先生表示： 「香港科技大學和紐約大學的合作將為兩家院校及其所屬城市帶來優勢互補的作用。我相信這個金融專業新課程將為年輕專業人士提供良機，向香港和紐約這兩個主要國際金融市場的著名教授學習，提升專業素質。香港歡迎各地人才來港工作及生活。」

科大—Stern環球金融碩士課程是一個為期12個月的兼讀課程，專為亞太區內工作上需要最前沿的金融及財務知識的行政人員而設，主要於香港科大校園上課，課程的教學工作由兩家學院等量負責，其間學員需赴紐約參與三個緊密的學習模塊。成功修畢課程的學員將獲科大及紐約大學Stern商學院合頒証書，並成為兩家大學的校友。

科大商學院院長陳家強教授說：「今次與Stern商學院合作的項目，進一步豐富了我們為區內優秀的行政人員所開辦的商學教育課程的種類。我們期望這個新的合辦課程及其他科大商學院現有的世界級課程，會進一步提升香港對在區內工作的國際人才的吸引力。」

Stern商學院院長Thomas Cooley教授表示：「亞太區的經濟發展迅猛，改變了全球的金融業面貌，隨之而來的是對金融業人才需求的激增。我們很高興與科大合作培訓這方面的人才，同時為金融經理人們提供獨有機會，在兩個主要的金融都會：香港及紐約市，去學習及提高他們的技能。」

科大商學院及Stern商學院均有與海外大學合辦課程的經驗，並且非常成功。科大商學院於1998年夥拍美國西北大學凱洛格管理學院合辦行政人員工商管理碩士課程，Stern商學院亦有與兩家國際商學院(倫敦經濟學院及巴黎HEC)合辦TRIUM行政人員工商管理碩士課程，兩個課程均佔《金融時報》最新的國際排名榜上的五強位置。
