CUHK MBA has responded to the dynamic needs of the financial industry with the introduction of several new courses, writes Prof. Michael Ferguson in an article he contributed to South China Morning Post.
The banking and finance sector has undergone tremendous changes since the financial tsunami in 2008. In the years since, major investment banks, commercial banks and investment houses have placed considerable new emphasis on risk management and compliance.
In the Dean’s Desk article published in the April 2015 issue of Inside MBA, an online magazine published by South China Morning Post, Prof. Michael Ferguson, Associate Dean (Graduate Studies) and Director of MBA Programmes at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School, indicates that CUHK MBA has responded to the dynamic needs of the financial industry with the introduction of several new courses including risk management for banks. The new course is taught by seasoned, prominent bankers and chief risk officers from major institutions that blends theory with practice to equip its MBA students with the necessary skills to excel in this area.
Furthermore, CUHK MBA has also launched a new course on project finance. It aims at helping students tap into the many career opportunities resulting from the formation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the “One Belt, One Road” initiative proposed by Beijing. It is expected that finance professionals equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge in this area will make significant contributions to Asia in the coming decades.
