Financial engineering: economics module; Financial module; Computer module; Mathematics and statistics module and other four modules. Courses offered include: political economy, microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, monetary banking, financial economics, financial markets, securities investment, derivative financial instruments, fixed-income securities, corporate finance, financial engineering, financial accounting, stochastic process, time series analysis, financial statistics and analysis application, commercial bank operation and management, insurance and actuarial science, game theory and information economics, financial risk management and investment banking.
From the perspective of curriculum
Finance is basically economics, finance (including finance, insurance, futures, securities, banking, investment, etc. ), management (accounting, marketing), liberal arts. Finance is to study the policies, regulations and theories of the financial industry, and belongs to the economic management major.
In addition to the above courses, financial engineering has also added some courses of computer, mathematics and statistics. Based on mathematics and computer, financial engineering mainly designs financial instruments, which can be trading or risk prevention and control. It is generally considered to be an engineering major, and the training direction is financial engineers, commonly known as "miners" (quant). With the development of artificial intelligence, financial engineering relies more and more on statistics, big data, machine learning and deep learning. , rather than a simple mathematical model. This major has higher requirements for mathematics (statistics) and computer (programming).
Let's just say that if you think you have resources, connections and comprehensive ability, then study finance.
If you think you prefer computers, big data, programming, etc. And good at math, then study financial engineering.
