Curriculum Covers the Links with Employment and Postgraduate Program
To implement modularized courses, encourage learning diversification, and to upgrade students’ competitiveness, we decreased the compulsory credits under the condition that the learning of essential knowledge and skills will not be influenced.
- We have increased some practical courses and tutorial classes of financial certificates, have enlarged the scale of “Student-To-Enterprise Course”, and have implemented “Field Internship” since 2007. All of the above courses not only focus on the combination of theory and practice but also lead students to prepare for their future careers. When the internship is finished, the directors of companies would evaluate each intern student’s performance. We also invite the intern students to present their enterprise internship experience. The feedback from the enterprises and the students would be collected as the reference for the next internship arrangement.
- College graduates have been perceived to be lacking in organization skills, professional responsibility, and the ability to work under pressure. They are also seen as lacking in social skills such as communicating with, and expressing opinions to, customers from different backgrounds, superiors, or elder colleagues. In order to improve the above situations and to enhance students humanistic quality, the course “Team Project” has been designed to train students’ team work by means of labor division. Besides, students are encouraged to attend a variety of competitions as additional strengthening for courses such as Investment, Futures and Options, and Practice in Securities Markets. Through the interscholastic competitions such as “Futures and Options PK” and “Virtual Investment Competition”, students improve not only their communication and pressure-resistant abilities but also their ethics concepts as team members. Moreover, business ethics is a compatibility that can’t be quantified. Enterprise sustainability relies heavily on business ethics casted by both the enterprise and their employees. Hence, “Business Ethics” becomes a required course which entails students a deeper understanding in (financial) organization ethics. We hope that students would follow business ethical principles in their future careers.
- To introduce students to the systematic structure and operation of the financial sector, the basic competencies and knowledge required in the field, and to enhance graduates’ employment competitiveness, we have invited senior directors to share their experience. In addition, the course “Principles of Econometric” is offered to strengthen students’ quantitative basis for further studies and to link postgraduate courses including “Research Methods” and “Econometrics”.
