MSc in Quantitative Finance and FinTech

Earn Two Master's Degrees in Just 2 Years with a Single Entry

Dual Master of Science in Financial Engineering and Quantitative Finance & FinTech offered by New York University and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

This collaborative dual Master's degree programme in Financial Engineering and Quantitative Finance & FinTech is jointly offered by the Department of Applied Mathematics at PolyU and the Department of Finance and Risk Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Combining the strengths of both world-class institutions, this programme integrates finance, engineering, and technology to prepare graduates for leadership roles in the global financial sector.

Operating as a non-reciprocal (outgoing-only) collaboration, eligible students can apply for this innovative pathway during the 2nd semester of their first year of study. Those who are accepted and successfully complete their first year at PolyU will have the exceptional opportunity to continue their studies at NYU for their second year.

Upon graduation, students will receive two distinct degrees: a Master of Science in Quantitative Finance and FinTech from PolyU, and a Master of Science in Financial Engineering from NYU.
