Finance mentioned here means that the first-level discipline category is economics, excluding actuarial and financial direction of statistics, computer and financial simulation of engineering, financial engineering of management, financial management of management or corporate finance. The scope of this paper refers to the eight traditional financial institutions, including Peking University, People's Congress, Nankai, Fudan, Xiamen University, Cai Xi, Shangcai and Cai Yang. After all, many courses are not open to non-financial traditional colleges and universities, and generally only students from these schools are accepted for three internships. Wudaokou was merged into Tsinghua, so it was not included in the discussion because it only recruited graduate students. )
Most freshmen don't offer specialized courses. During this period, they will study economic English and advanced mathematics, as well as computer basics, c++ and mat-lab. Don't underestimate this year. Without a good foundation, it is really impossible to enter the top investment bank or bank headquarters.
Colleges with Big8 in their sophomore year generally offer basic courses in econometrics, macro and micro, money and banking, corporate finance and other majors. Using the foundation of freshman year, reading the original English textbooks directly becomes the key to your future success. Woodridge's econometrics, Fan Lian's microeconomics and Man Kun's macroeconomics are enough to support the foundation of your huge theoretical pyramid. Don't be eager for quick success, study hard and translate word for word. In this way, whether you go abroad for further study, graduate school or work, you can be handy. Many younger brothers of Guanghua always ask me whether to look at the econometrics of plum naphthalene or Zhang Xiaodong's. Personally, I think Zhang Xiaodong, a domestic econometrics textbook for undergraduate students, is the first choice. In addition, Fache's Fundamentals of Financial Markets and Financial Institutions, Ross's Corporate Finance and Walter Enders's Time Series Analysis of Applied Econometrics are also worth reading. This year is the most tiring year. In addition to these basic analytical theories, we also need to learn how to use statistical software such as eviews.stata.r.spss.rats and the characteristics of indicators. It can be said that this year is the hardest and most fulfilling year. Let's go
My junior year mainly focuses on reading domestic and foreign literature. Of course, students who are determined to work after graduation can take part in classic textbooks such as Finance by Morton, Mathematics in Financial Modeling and Investment Management by Faqiqi and Monetary Finance by mishkin. But this year's focus is to look at the literature, find your focus, and search for papers related to your topic. Please note that whether you are searching for literature on HowNet or Google, please remember to read only articles of cssci and ssci. The higher the quality of the periodicals you read, the higher your future level will be. Of course, if you need to apply for graduate study or go abroad, you need to send about 2 academic papers modeled on the literature. At this time, the advantage of the university came. Many journals give priority to papers published by these eight universities, especially the top four. If you want to apply for a university in North America or a university like Fudan University in Nankai, Peking University, you'd better let your tutor do it and go to an authoritative journal. Last year, undergraduates from Shanghai Finance and Economics and Nankai University published articles on economic research, which was very impressive.
When you are a senior, you should accurately determine whether you want to work or not. Many people think that people who are not good at study and theory should work, which is absolutely a big fallacy. If you can't measure, analyze and model the data, then you are selling when you go to work. What's the difference between you and not studying? Besides, how can you survive in the financial kingdom without skills? Okay, let's get down to business. The internship experience in the last year is the most important. Big8 University must learn to use alumni resources. These eight universities basically monopolize the domestic financial talent market, so it is relatively easy to go to colleges and universities for internship. The level of internship application should be: one line, three meetings > headquarters of foreign securities firms and four major banks > headquarters of major domestic securities firms and joint-stock commercial banks > headquarters of city commercial banks and three provincial bureaus. If it is an internship suggestion such as a provincial branch, forget it. No extra points. Internship and employment are basically the same. If you can stay in each headquarters for a few months, you will get a good job. Here, it is emphasized that students from Guanghua or Jingyuan are naturally willing to stay in our school for postgraduate entrance examination, but it does not rule out that some will go to Wudaokou or even Fudan Nankai to hand it in. What I want to say is that the crossing has been destroyed now. If you choose to go to Wudaokou because you think you have a central bank background, it is simply right and wrong. Numerous cases have proved to us that Wudaokou is an embroidered pillow, and its employment may be worse than that of Nankai Fudan. In addition, everyone should be cautious when handing in high-quality gold.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. Finally, I strongly advise the leaders of Peking University not to ruin the golden signboard of Peking University Finance. More than 200 financial master's degree indicators of software college betrayed the school's running standards!
Thank you!
