- Globalization It is widely recognized that globalization is an inevitable trend in the financial market, driven by the presence of multinational corporations and international banking. Therefore, the key approach to gaining a competitive edge is to improve one’s English proficiency and cultivate a global perspective.
- Informatization
With the highly developed communication and network infrastructure, we can quickly access information from the financial market. Therefore, it is essential to teach students how to utilize digital software for the real-time analysis of financial information, as this skill is crucial for enhancing their capabilities.
- Team spirit
The financial and economic issues are complex and constantly changing. It requires a team spirit and enhanced communication and cooperation skills to thoroughly solve the financial and economic problems. Therefore, the important courses in our department emphasize team-based project presentations, with the aim of fostering the importance of teamwork and communication among students.
- Financial Expertise
Our professional courses are divided into two major fields, providing students with directions for their future career planning. With financial and economic certification exams, students acquire professional knowledge and skills to enhance their employability.
- Holistics
Holistics education is the most important concept in the governance of Chung Yuan Christian University. The financial crises and scandals in recent years have repeatedly shown that besides professional knowledge, there must be a strengthening of character and spirit of business ethics. Therefore, in many required courses, the department emphasizes the concepts of ethics and character, and coordinates with the School of Business’s required course on business ethics, hoping to provide students with ethical education in addition to professional education.
