The new Masters and PhD programmes inFinTech offered by NUS will provide finance professionals a significantcompetitive advantage to thrive in the industry新加坡国立大学提供的新的金融科技硕士和博士项目将为金融专业人士提供显著的竞争优势，使他们在行业中茁壮成长。
The National University of Singapore (NUS)will offer two new graduate programmes in digital financial technology(FinTech) in the new academic year, to help build a robust ecosystem ofhigh-quality research talent and capabilities to support the fast-growingfinancial industry in Singapore. The new Masters and PhD programmes are underthe Asian Institute of Digital Finance (AIDF) at NUS, a university-levelinstitute jointly founded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), theNational Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) and NUS. The PhD programme, inparticular, is Singapore’s first and only doctoral programme in FinTech.
新加坡国立大学将在新学年开设两个新的数字金融科技研究生项目，以帮助建立一个由高质量高能力的研究人才组成的强大生态系统，支持新加坡快速发展的金融业。新的硕士和博士课程隶属于新加坡国立大学的亚洲数字金融研究所，该研究所是由新加坡金融管理局、新加坡国家研究基金会和新加坡国立大学联合成立的大学级机构。尤其是博士项目，是新加坡第一个也是唯一一个金融科技博士项目。In these uncertain times, more financial organisations than ever are leveraging FinTech to grow and improve their financial products, and to enable smooth and more innovative interaction with their customers.在这个不确定的时代，比以往任何时候都更多的金融组织正在利用金融科技来发展和改进他们的金融产品，并实现与客户的互动更加顺畅和创新。
“In this golden age of technology, banks are becoming more efficientas more operational processes are being automated by AI, and decision making isassisted by sophisticated data analytics. Such advancement is rapidly reshapingthe financial services sector. At the same time, financial institutions arefacing rapid market changes and intensified global competition. In-demandskillsets such as competencies in digital technologies and innovation, whichour new Masters and PhD programmes are designed to impart, will give ourgraduates a significant competitive advantage to thrive in the industry,”shared Associate Professor Huang Ke-Wei, Director of Academic Programmes atAIDF, who is also from the NUS School of Computing (NUS Computing).
在这个科技的黄金时代，随着更多的操作流程被人工智能自动化，复杂的数据分析辅助银行决策的制定，银行的效率越来越高，这样的进步正在迅速重塑金融服务行业。同时，金融机构也面临着快速的市场变化和加剧的全球竞争。AIDF学术课程总监黄克伟副教授分享道：“我们新的硕士和博士课程旨在传授数字技术和创新能力等紧缺技能，这将为我们的毕业生提供显著的竞争优势，使他们在行业中茁壮成长。“黄克伟副教授也来自新加坡国立大学计算机学院。
“AIDF is designed to be Asia’s premium research and academic institute to advance deep technology research and develop next-generation leaders in digital finance and FinTech. Its unique curriculum is structured tomeet the industry’s technology skill requirements and integrated with a focuson financial inclusion, digital economy technology stack, and sustain ability inhigh-growth markets. This key factor will foster high-quality talent development for an equitable and inclusive digital economy,” said Mr Sopnendu Mohanty, Chief FinTech Officer of MAS and Co-Chair of AIDF Steering Committee.
AIDF旨在成为亚洲优质的研究和学术机构，以推进数字金融和金融科技领域的深层技术研究并培养下一代领导者。其独特的课程结构是为了满足行业的技术技能要求，并与金融普惠、数字经济技术栈和高增长市场的可持续性相结合。新加坡金管局首席金融科技官兼AIDF指导委员会联合主席Sopnendu Mohanty先生表示：“这一关键因素将促进高质量的人才培养，以实现公平和包容性的数字经济。“
Mr Beh Kian Teik, NRF Deputy ChiefExecutive Officer, said, “Digital talent is essential for Singapore to realiseits ambition of being a trusted digital innovation hub. As such, the RIE-fundedAIDF provides a good platform for the post-graduates – both Masters of Scienceand PhD candidates – to be trained in FinTech to serve the growing needs of thefinancial industry. This in turn ensures a pipeline of local talent that willstrengthen Singapore’s Smart Nation core.”
NRF副首席执行官Beh Kian Teik先生说：“新加坡要实现成为值得信赖的数字创新中心的雄心，数字型人才是必不可少的。因此，RIE资助AIDF为研究生，包括理科硕士和博士候选人提供了一个良好的平台，让他们接受金融科技方面的培训，以服务于金融业日益增长的需求。这反过来又能确保本地人才的输送，从而加强新加坡的智能国家核心。“The 1.5-year Masters of Science in DigitalFinancial Technology is a collaborative programme by AIDF, NUS Computing andNUS Business School.为期1.5年的数字金融技术科学硕士项目是由AIDF、新加坡国立大学计算机学院和新加坡国立大学商学院合作开设的。With an intake of 40 to 50 students, theMasters programme is designed primarily for those who plan to work in financial institutions or FinTech firms as AI software developers, data scientists, FinTech security specialists, or financial quantitative analysts.该硕士项目招收40至50名学生，主要是为那些计划在金融机构或金融科技公司担任人工智能软件开发人员、数据科学家、金融科技安全专家或金融定量分析师的人设计的。The programme also offers elective modulesthat cover deep computing and finance expertise to help prepare graduates forfuture challenges in FinTech.该项目还提供涵盖深度计算和金融专业知识的选修模块，以帮助毕业生为未来在金融科技领域的挑战做好准备。
Students will undertake a two-semester longcapstone project which is designed to help them pick up in-depth skills andknowledge in a focused area – such as artificial intelligence, machine learningor data analytics – via experiential learning. Students can choose either anacademic research project, or a FinTech internship to gain industry work experience that supports the acquisition of practical work skills andself-directed learning.
学生将进行一个长达两个学期的顶尖项目，旨在帮助他们通过体验式学习，在一个重点领域如人工智能、机器学习或数据分析里掌握深入的技能和知识。学生可以选择学术研究项目，或金融科技实习，以获得行业工作经验和实际工作技能以及自主学习能力。
The PhD in Digital Financial Technology programme will be hosted jointly by the NUS Graduate School and AIDF. The programme will admit talented students with computing, finance, or STEM background, and it aims to train graduates who can excel with a strong technical foundation and independent research ability for driving financial innovations in academia as well as in FinTech industries.
数字金融科技博士项目将由新加坡国立大学研究生院和AIDF联合主办。该项目将招收具有计算机、金融或STEM背景的优秀学生，旨在培养具有扎实技术基础和独立研究能力的优秀毕业生，以推动学术界以及金融科技行业的金融创新。As this is currently the only FinTech PhD programme in Singapore, graduates of this programme will be uniquely suited towork in the FinTech industry especially in fields where research projects require advanced quantitative techniques. Graduates may also become trainers ineducational institutions to groom qualified FinTech man power for Singapore and beyond.由于这是目前新加坡唯一的金融科技博士项目，该项目的毕业生将独特地适合在金融科技行业工作，特别是在研究项目需要先进量化技术的领域。毕业生也可以成为教育机构的培训师，为新加坡及其他地区培养合格的金融科技人才。In the unique design of the PhD programme, each student is guided by his/her own academic committee consisting of three faculty members from at least two different faculties. This academic committee will advise the student on coursework and research matters.在博士项目的独特设计中，每个学生都由他自己的学术委员会指导，该委员会由来自至少两个不同院系的三名教师组成。该学术委员会将就课程作业和研究事项向学生提供建议。
Students can take classes based on apersonalised curriculum on the recommendations of his or her academic committee. They can take classes directly related to their research projects inareas such as AI or machine learning in finance, smart credit analytics, blockchain innovations, FinTech infrastructure, economics of Fin Techinnovations, or advanced time series forecasting.
学生可以根据他的学术委员会的建议，根据个性化的课程设置上课。他们可以选修与他们的研究项目直接相关的课程，如金融领域的人工智能或机器学习、智能信用分析、区块链创新、金融科技基础设施、金融科技创新的经济学或高级时间序列预测。
