The finance major is more rigorous. As a practical major of economic derivatives that has been developed for decades, its purpose is to enable students to master a series of traditional and derivative financial instruments. Have a very in-depth understanding of the capital market and the trading operations of international currencies and banks. Careful classmates will find that financial majors require applicants to have a certain understanding of the basics of economics and mathematics, and to apply what they have learned to financial disciplines.

The research direction of finance major in British universities includes investment, pricing and research of financial instruments, financial market, financial research, banking and mathematical statistics research. The specific analysis is as follows:

1, financial engineering

2. Financial Finance-It is relatively difficult to apply for a financial major, but it is theoretical. As far as international students are concerned, the employment situation is not as good as the other two directions.

3. FinancialAnalyst financial analysis-financial analysis is different from marketing, human resource management and other majors, and it is hard.

Skills can be used in any country. At the same time, foreign students majoring in this major not only have high employment rate and high salary, but also are quite respected in the United States. In addition, it is much less difficult to apply for a master's degree in this major than other master's degrees in finance. However, in general, financial majors are still difficult to apply for. Moreover, due to the high return on funds and fierce competition in the future, there are few scholarships in this subject, so the possibility of winning the prize is relatively small. If you want to win the prize, you must have a strong background to support it.
