Peking University, June 19, 2012: According to the British Financial Times’ ranking list of the 2012’s global Master in Finance programs released on June 18th, Guanghua School of Management (GSM) of Peking University (PKU), at its first time to participate in the ranking, won the 8th and became the only Asian university among the top35. Earlier this year, the School’ MBA was listed in the 2012’s global top 100 MBA programs.
"These results indicate that Guanghua has made a step forward in its process towards a world-class business school. Guanghua's degree program has become one of the world's most advanced programs," said Professor Cai Hongbin, Dean of Guanghua School of Management.
The Master in Finance Ranking is an overall assessment based on data from alumni questionnaires and school questionnaires. Assessment on salary, course value, employment, faculty, internationalization and other aspects are taken as the 18 criteria. Guanghua's Master in Finance Program is ranked the first for "Average annual salary" and "Employed at three months", and the third for "Value for money" and "Placement success". It is also among the best for "Aims achieved", "Internship" and "Women students".
"I had great expectations even before I was admitted to this program and I learned a lot. For me, Guanghua is more like a stimulation”, said Xia Yinyin, an employee at UBS Securities and a former graduate of Master in Finance in 2009.
Guanghua’s Master in Finance program aims to cultivate professionals with a solid foundation in financial theory and higher application skills. With over ten years of development, Guanghua's Master in Finance Program has become an advanced and internationalized program. Its graduates are working in various financial institutions, and made important contributions to China's financial reform and practice. The School will deepen its effort of internationalization, particularly overseas practice and study and continue to adjust and design the curriculum.
