What is EMA in SOE at Fudan?

 

Launched in 2007 and 2012 respectively, the EMA Chinese Economy Program and the EMA Finance Program are English-taught full-time master’s degree programs designed for international students who wish to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of China in the fields of economics, finance, business, and national policies.  In the fall semester of 2022, the EMA programs were transformed into professional master’s degree programs, which are, Master of Finance (MF) and Master of International Business (MIB). These two newly introduced programs focus on practical skills and hands-on learning experiences, aiming to better prepare students for entering the work field after graduation.


Supported by SOE’s well-established discipline of economics, its strong education and research background, and its excellent academic atmosphere, these two programs provide the students with a solid platform to study a wide range of courses related to Chinese economy and finance. 


We will offer featured courses such as Chinese Economy, Financial Institutions and Markets, Development Economics, International Finance, Money and Banking, Corporate Finance Theory and Practice, Venture Capital & IPO & Merger & Acquisition, Enterprise Internationalization, International Trade Theory and Practice, Theory and Practice of Financial Derivative. Furthermore, students are required to complete a 2 months internship in the field of business or finance, enabling them to gain relevant work experience within the Chinese market environment. Upon graduation, students leave Fudan not only with a professional master’s degree but also the potential for a successful career in China or at home.
