　　MSc in Investment Management

　　项目介绍

　　Program Design

　　The Master of Science in Investment Management Program, MSc(IM) was first introduced in 1996 with the part-time study mode. Since its inception, the MSc(IM) program has been widely recognized by finance professionals as a premier academic program.

　　In 2014, a full-time study mode was launched as an extension of the well-established part-time program, and designed to provide rigorous training for students interested in professional careers in the finance industry.

　　2014年，一项全日制学习模式被推出，作为完善的非全日制课程的延伸，旨在为对金融行业职业生涯有兴趣的学生提供严格的培训。

　　The full-time curriculum is structured to meet the growing and specialized demands of the industry. It begins with a solid foundation of courses in accounting, economics, quantitative and computing skills, investment analysis and financial derivatives, which form the core subjects in the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) examinations curriculum. Students can also further build on this broad knowledge base by choosing advanced courses and specialized electives that lead to concentrations in Asset Management or Risk Management.

　　全日制课程的结构是为了满足日益增长的专业需求。它从会计、经济学、定量和计算技能、投资分析和金融衍生品的基础课程开始，这些课程构成了特许金融分析师(CFA)和特许投资分析师(CAIA)考试课程的核心主题。学生们还可以通过选择先进的课程和专业的选修课来进一步巩固这一广泛的知识基础，从而通向资产管理或风险管理。
