The NTU MSc Finance programme is a longstanding programme at the Nanyang Business School. Our future-focused interdisciplinary curriculum has a strategic focus on China and the wider Asia-Pacific region and offers opportunities to explore emerging fields such as sustainability and fintech.

We complement our programme’s strong academic foundation with curated Student Industry Field Trips (SIFT), which takes our students through a series of activities and events conducted by leading industry professionals, providing them first-hand insights into how global markets move and evolve. Our students are also supported by the Graduate Studies Career Development Office (GSCDO), ensuring every student gets the best start to their career journey.

Applicants must have an interest in the wide-ranging world of finance and should have a desire to pursue careers in the finance industry. Students who are already working in the industry and those without a finance background are warmly welcomed.
