近年来，金融科技（FinTech）在全球范围内迅猛发展。毫无疑问，中国已成长为全球新兴金融科技产业的中心。为顺应金融科技发展对创新人才提出的新需求，中国人民大学财政金融学院特开设全英文金融科技硕士（MSFT）项目，旨在培养了解中国金融市场的金融科技复合型国际人才和具备金融专识、技术能力和创新精神的全球商业领袖。为丰富项目教学内容，拓宽学生国际视野，我院邀请金融科技领域专家、学者定期举办金融科技系列公开讲座（线上），为学生打造终身学习和交流的平台。

In recent years, financial technology(FinTech) is developing rapidly globally. China has undoubtedly grown into a global center in the burgeoning FinTech industry. As FinTech is transforming the traditional financial industry influentially, every leading finance education institution must catch up with this trend of advanced FinTech education. The Master of Science in FinTech (MSFT) Program established by the School of Finance, Renmin University of China(SFRUC) is a response to this great FinTech era’s call. It was designed to cultivate global FinTech talents and business leaders equipped with both financial expertise, technology skills and innovative spirits, especially with a focus on China. In order to enrich the program teaching and broaden students’ international horizon, SFRUC invites top FinTech experts and scholars to share their insights through the FinTech Webinar Series(online) for both domestic and international students in order to build a lifelong learning and networking platform for them.
