Bachelor in Global Elite Program: Finance

Tunghai University's Global Elite Program offers a bachelor's degree in Finance, taught in English at the university's location in Central Taiwan. Finance is the field of study concerned with how individuals, companies, and governments raise, allocate, and manage money over time, covering topics such as investment analysis, corporate finance, financial markets, and risk management. Typical coursework includes principles of accounting and economics, corporate finance, financial statement analysis, investments, and the study of how financial markets and institutions such as banks, exchanges, and insurance companies operate. Students commonly learn quantitative methods used to value assets, assess risk, and evaluate investment opportunities, along with the mathematical and statistical tools that underpin financial modeling. Coursework often addresses capital budgeting decisions, how companies choose between different sources of financing, and how financial managers balance risk and return when making decisions on behalf of a firm. International finance topics, including currency markets and cross-border investment, are frequently part of the curriculum given how interconnected global capital markets have become. Students also typically study financial regulation and the institutional structures that govern banking and securities markets. Graduates of finance programs pursue careers in corporate finance, investment banking, asset management, financial planning, banking, and insurance, as well as roles in treasury and risk management within non-financial companies. Some go on to further study or professional certification in finance or accounting. The discipline provides an analytical toolkit that is valued across many industries wherever financial decision-making is required. Delivered in English at a university in Central Taiwan, the program is positioned for international students seeking finance training that combines global financial theory with exposure to the regional business and economic environment in Taiwan.
