2021年4月1，新加坡國立大學提供新的金融科技碩士和博士項目，提升新加坡數字金融研究人才和能力。
The new Masters and PhD programmes inFinTech offered by NUS will provide finance professionals a significantcompetitive advantage to thrive in the industry新加坡國立大學提供的新的金融科技碩士和博士項目將爲金融專業人士提供顯著的競爭優勢，使他們在行業中茁壯成長。
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.
新加坡國立大學將在新學年開設兩個新的數字金融科技研究生項目，以幫助建立一個由高質量高能力的研究人才組成的強大生態系統，支持新加坡快速發展的金融業。新的碩士和博士課程隸屬于新加坡國立大學的亞洲數字金融研究所，該研究所是由新加坡金融管理局、新加坡國家研究基金會和新加坡國立大學聯合成立的大學級機構。尤其是博士項目，是新加坡第一個也是唯一一個金融科技博士項目。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.在這個不確定的時代，比以往任何時候都更多的金融組織正在利用金融科技來發展和改進他們的金融産品，並實現與客戶的互動更加順暢和創新。
“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).
在這個科技的黃金時代，隨著更多的操作流程被人工智能自動化，複雜的數據分析輔助銀行決策的制定，銀行的效率越來越高，這樣的進步正在迅速重塑金融服務行業。同時，金融機構也面臨著快速的市場變化和加劇的全球競爭。AIDF學術課程總監黃克偉副教授分享道：“我們新的碩士和博士課程旨在傳授數字技術和創新能力等緊缺技能，這將爲我們的畢業生提供顯著的競爭優勢，使他們在行業中茁壯成長。“黃克偉副教授也來自新加坡國立大學計算機學院。
“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旨在成爲亞洲優質的研究和學術機構，以推進數字金融和金融科技領域的深層技術研究並培養下一代領導者。其獨特的課程結構是爲了滿足行業的技術技能要求，並與金融普惠、數字經濟技術棧和高增長市場的可持續性相結合。新加坡金管局首席金融科技官兼AIDF指導委員會聯合主席Sopnendu Mohanty先生表示：“這一關鍵因素將促進高質量的人才培養，以實現公平和包容性的數字經濟。“
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副首席執行官Beh Kian Teik先生說：“新加坡要實現成爲值得信賴的數字創新中心的雄心，數字型人才是必不可少的。因此，RIE資助AIDF爲研究生，包括理科碩士和博士候選人提供了一個良好的平台，讓他們接受金融科技方面的培訓，以服務于金融業日益增長的需求。這反過來又能確保本地人才的輸送，從而加強新加坡的智能國家核心。“The 1.5-year Masters of Science in DigitalFinancial Technology is a collaborative programme by AIDF, NUS Computing andNUS Business School.爲期1.5年的數字金融技術科學碩士項目是由AIDF、新加坡國立大學計算機學院和新加坡國立大學商學院合作開設的。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.該碩士項目招收40至50名學生，主要是爲那些計劃在金融機構或金融科技公司擔任人工智能軟件開發人員、數據科學家、金融科技安全專家或金融定量分析師的人設計的。The programme also offers elective modulesthat cover deep computing and finance expertise to help prepare graduates forfuture challenges in FinTech.該項目還提供涵蓋深度計算和金融專業知識的選修模塊，以幫助畢業生爲未來在金融科技領域的挑戰做好准備。
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.
學生將進行一個長達兩個學期的頂尖項目，旨在幫助他們通過體驗式學習，在一個重點領域如人工智能、機器學習或數據分析裏掌握深入的技能和知識。學生可以選擇學術研究項目，或金融科技實習，以獲得行業工作經驗和實際工作技能以及自主學習能力。
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.
數字金融科技博士項目將由新加坡國立大學研究生院和AIDF聯合主辦。該項目將招收具有計算機、金融或STEM背景的優秀學生，旨在培養具有紮實技術基礎和獨立研究能力的優秀畢業生，以推動學術界以及金融科技行業的金融創新。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.由于這是目前新加坡唯一的金融科技博士項目，該項目的畢業生將獨特地適合在金融科技行業工作，特別是在研究項目需要先進量化技術的領域。畢業生也可以成爲教育機構的培訓師，爲新加坡及其他地區培養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.在博士項目的獨特設計中，每個學生都由他自己的學術委員會指導，該委員會由來自至少兩個不同院系的三名教師組成。該學術委員會將就課程作業和研究事項向學生提供建議。
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.
學生可以根據他的學術委員會的建議，根據個性化的課程設置上課。他們可以選修與他們的研究項目直接相關的課程，如金融領域的人工智能或機器學習、智能信用分析、區塊鏈創新、金融科技基礎設施、金融科技創新的經濟學或高級時間序列預測。
