About Us

Department introduction

The department strives to achieve excellence and internationalization in both research and teaching, with equal emphasis on both areas. Currently, two professional programs have been established to develop research and teaching within the department further.

In recent years, the internationalization and liberalization of enterprises and finance have become a trend. In response to this situation, the government has adopted several policies to actively improve the capital market, the foreign exchange market, and the financial system, and introduced a range of financial instruments to facilitate the flexible operation of enterprises. To implement the above policies, government financial institutions are eager to attract more forward-looking, international-minded middle and senior financial management talents. The establishment of this department is to accelerate the cultivation of these talents to meet the increasing demand.

 

 

Department history

The National Dong Hwa University was formally established on July 1, 1983. To support the government's policy of promoting financial internationalization and liberalization, cultivating middle and senior financial management talents

and developing financial professionals in the eastern part of the country, the department was established.

The Department of Finance of our school was officially established in the summer of 1991 to recruit students. Following this, in 1996, a master's degree program in corporate finance was established, and a master's degree program in accounting and finance was introduced in 1998 to recruit outstanding students in the field of finance.

To develop academic and teaching internationalization, the department recruited international students for a master's class and a bachelor’s class in the spring of 2011. The courses are taught in English to achieve the department's goal of internationalization.

It has been approximately 23 years since the department was founded. The current department chair is Professor Jin-Ray Lu.  

 

Current status and prospects

The Department focuses on training in financial theory and practice. Currently, it has signed a letter of intent for internship cooperation with financial institutions, providing students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in the industry. Before graduation, they can integrate into the industry and improve their employability. It hopes to train students of this department to become both theoretical and practical financial and academic talents in the industry.

 

 

Excellent financial and academic talents

The department pays attention to students' international mobility. Currently, it has signed double-degree contracts and exchange student agreements with foreign universities, providing students with additional opportunities for studying abroad in addition to those offered by the school, in the hope of cultivating students in this department into finance professionals with international mobility.
