Two. introduce
The Master of Finance in Durham University in England has strong theory and great freedom in course selection. Students can choose related courses according to their future development direction. The difficulty coefficient is above average compared with the students who have studied finance seriously, and it is difficult for non-business related undergraduates.
In teaching, there are lectures and seminars. The level of teachers who give lectures is generally high. Most of the courses are taught by teachers who have many years of experience in enterprises. Every teacher's teaching style is different, but they are all respected and liked. Teachers in seminars are generally called tutors, with relatively junior qualifications, and some have just joined the work after graduating from doctoral studies ... I would like to remind you that you can choose to attend lectures or not, but seminars are compulsory and you must sign in every time. Four seminars a semester is more important, because it may involve key issues in the exam.
Durham University has strict enrollment, excellent teaching quality, strong faculty and excellent students' performance. Durham attaches great importance to students' independent analysis, problem solving, practical ability and operational ability, and also exercises students' language expression ability and logical reasoning ability, which provides a good environment for students to develop their personal talents. The proportion of people in China is very small, and most of them are foreigners. Teachers will not speak a little slower in class because they take care of foreigners (people from non-native English-speaking countries), but also read more materials. The master of finance has also been refined to meet the needs of different students. Durham's master of finance major is very theoretical, and some majors have to study Gao Hong and Gao Wei. Therefore, it is suggested that students, especially those without business background, study basic advanced mathematics, economics and statistics in advance, and Durham's one-week preparatory course, and get used to faster English communication as soon as possible before going abroad, so that learning will be much easier.
