近十年来，现代金融业的复杂性及其全球迅速发展，带来了更多新的挑战和机遇。一方面，金融管理人员在了解新的经济政策和条例以及新的金融产品的影响方面所面临的挑战日益严峻。另一方面，为应对这些挑战，在金融理论和计量经济学方面开发了大量新颖的建模、预测和监测方法。因此，为有才能的专业人士提供最先进的经济理论、金融计量经济学和计算方法来解决金融业所面临的诸多问题是非常重要的。

拟合作的金融经济学硕士课程（msfe）针对的是需要一个严格的课程，将经济学和计量经济学与金融联系在一起。msfe计划旨在将新加坡管理大学（smu）的两大核心力量——计量经济学和金融学——结合起来，在一个充满活力的政策和监管的新时代，满足行业对拥有对日益复杂的金融问题进行深入分析技能的专业人才的巨大需求。全日制学位课程将传授经济学和计量经济学的基本知识以及金融市场运作的领域知识。

该课程将教学生如何运用经济学和计量经济学中最先进的工具进行融资。它的主要师资力量是来自该方案固有的多学科性质，涉及在经济学、计量经济学和金融方面具有专门知识的教师，从而为学生创造了独特的转型学习经验。本课程将以让人仰慕的MSEF课程体系为核心，并利用其关键地理优势，为学生提供良好的社交机会。为有应用和研究方向的学生举办学术和行业研讨会的可能性，将为技术上健全且以市场为导向的专业人员提供理想的跳板。

The complexities of the modern financial industry and its global linkages have multiplied rapidly over the last decade, producing many new challenges and opportunities. On one hand, the challenge faced by financial managers in fathoming the implications of new economic policies and regulations and new financial products has become increasingly daunting. On the other hand, a vast array of novel modelling, forecasting and surveillance methods has been developed in financial theory and econometrics to address these challenges. It is therefore important to equip talented professionals with the most advanced tools of economic theory, financial econometrics and computational methods to study the manifold problems faced by the financial industry.

The proposed Master of Science in Financial Economics (MSFE) programme addresses the need for a rigorous curriculum linking economics and econometrics to finance. The MSFE programme aims to combine two central strengths of SMU – econometrics and finance – in a programme that meets the loud industry demand for professionals with the skills for deep analysis of increasingly complex financial problems in a new era of dynamic policy and regulation. The proposed full-time degree programme will impart the foundational knowledge in economics and econometrics and the domain knowledge of the workings of the financial markets.

The programme will teach students how to apply the most advanced tools in economics and econometrics to finance. Its primary strength draws on the inherent multidisciplinary nature of the programme involving faculty with expertise in economics, econometrics and finance, thereby generating a unique “transformational” learning experience for students. Going with the theme of any coveted SMU degree and leveraging on its key geographic location, this programme will provide excellent networking opportunities. The possibility of academic and industry seminars for students with applied and research tracks will provide an ideal springboard for the technically sound but market orientated professionals.
