The School of International Finance upholds the educational philosophy of “cultivating international talents” and trains students oriented at “problem-solving, independent learning, and sustainability.” The School of International Finance consists of the Institute of Global Asset Management as the core and integrates courses of Sustainable Finance and Digital Finance in the aim to integrate learning with application, implement innovative business models, and strengthen global perspectives to cultivate international mobility and abilities, such as advanced financial product design and development and international asset management.

In addition, a two-year hands-on business innovative modelling course allows students to explore and define business problems through learning and practice, and then investigate and solve problems in business innovative model encountered by the industry and the financial sector.
Senior Vice President Tsai further expressed that the School of International Finance provides outstanding students with opportunities to exchange in Taiwan and abroad to strengthen international talents. Students from the industry will have the opportunity to work with those who have advanced financial or regulatory backgrounds to frame up the innovative business models for the new-generation financial industry. The University expects that an international learning environment could help cultivate students with a creative vision, global mobility, and the ability to design and develop high-end financial products. It will also equip financial institutions' international operation and management with talents to make Taiwan a center of capital transaction and high-end asset management in Asia.
