授课性金融硕士项目通常一年就读能玩。以香港理工大学为例,金融学硕士项目有两个track,一个是Investment Management(投资管理金融学硕士),另一个是最新设立的,叫做Financial Economics in Energy and Environment(能源环境金融学硕士)。
先说第一个Investment Management。总共两个学期。第一学期要求学生修6门必修课,总共18个学分,包括Accounting for Business Analysis, Principles of Corporate Finance, Economics for Financial Analysis, Quantitative Methods for Finance, Investments, Regulatory Framework。
第二个学期要求修四门选修课,选修课包括Mergers and Acquisitions, Corporate Risk Management, Fixed Income Securities, Risk Management for Corporations, Business Risk Management, Entrepreneurial Finance, Financial Analysis and Valuation, Derivatives Securities, Security Analysis and Portfolio Management, International Banking。同时有两个Capstone Projects,包括Finance and Strategy和International Financial Management。Capstone project类似于课程小论文。
第二个Track Financial Economics in Energy and Environment上的课跟Investment Management差不多,但是多了两个必修课,一个是Economics of World Energy Markets,另一个是Economics of Sustainability。这两门课重点培养学生对能源经济学和环境经济学的理解。现在绿色金融(Green Finance)这个领域也比较热门,这个硕士项目重点培养这个方向。
