Program Overview

Launched in 2007 and 2012 respectively, the EMA Chinese Economy Program and the EMA Finance Program are English-taught full-time master’s degree programs designed for international students who wish to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of China in the fields of economics, finance, business, and national policies.  

In the fall semester of 2022, the EMA programs were transformed into professional master’s degree programs, which are, Master of Finance (MF) and Master of International Business (MIB).
