大家好,我叫夏之函,是上海高级金融学院(简称“高金”)金融硕士项目2019级新生,很荣幸将在高金进行为期两年的金融学习之旅,也很高兴能有机会分享我的一些感受和期望。希望我的分享能够帮助我在这个项目中找到志同道合的朋友,在未来两年中共同努力,充分享受这次充满意义的旅程。
关于我
首先简单介绍一下我自己:我本科毕业于上海交通大学安泰经济与管理学院,主修金融学。我认为有一个词可以最恰如其分地描述我的大学生涯:那就是“平衡”。这是我度过四年大学旅程的关键,也想和各位分享。
我在学习研究和培养兴趣之间取得了完美平衡。除了努力争取优异的学习成绩之外,我还十分重视业余时光。我是上海交大吉他俱乐部的成员,曾经参加过多场大型演出活动,有机会上场演奏,而观众们的热烈掌声对我鼓舞良多。
我的性格既崇尚自力更生,又重视团队合作,这代表着另一种平衡。在整个本科学习期间,虽然我的确会在考试之前熬夜学习注重个人奋斗,但我也深知团队合作的重要性。说到协作精神和团队合作,让我最深刻印象的成就之一就是征战CFA研究挑战赛。我与我的队友一起参加了CFA亚太地区决赛,也通过比赛相互学习。
凭借以往的金融专业学习经验,我选择在高金继续深造,相信这必将是又一次精彩的探索之旅。
选择高金的原因
和
对未来两年的期望
高金一直是我梦寐以求的知名学府。早在填报本科志愿时,我就通过媒体报道对高金建立了初步概念。高金的国际化视野和全面发展的培养方案让我非常着迷。因此,我当时选择在上海交大进行本科学习,而不是其他名校。在招生过程中,我了解到了有关高金的更多信息,包括与众不同的视角以及对合格学生的期望。我非常想要感谢高金的老师们,他们在诸如IYFLS,Mini Camp等活动中的演讲给我留下了深刻印象,也激发了我们对金融行业的浓厚兴趣,使我们更加坚定了为金融业做出积极贡献的决心。
高金对生源和师资都采用了严格的筛选标准。我认为高金之所以能够可持续地强势发展,正是源于这个不是秘密的"秘密武器"。能够有机会与才华横溢的同学一起学习,我感到非常荣幸,而高金校园为我们创造了互帮互助的共享环境。我也很期待能够聆听教授们的教诲,他们对金融行业的出色见解对我有着极大的吸引力。
SAIF是我们吸收知识的理想所在。我知道所有同学都已经参加了Coursera课程,这标志着为期两年的高金金融硕士项目的起点。高金所设计的课程模块非常综合全面。开学前,我已经浏览了通过电子邮件收到的教学大纲,发现这些课程对于学生构建金融行业的知识基础非常有帮助,也肯定会让我们未来的职业生涯受益匪浅。此外,课程侧重于金融和编程等不同领域,也能让来自不同背景的学生充分发挥其强项。跨越多个学科的学习环境将鼓励同学们分享在本科期间学到的知识,为学习困难的同学提供帮助,让大家都能从为期两年的学习中获得最大收益。就我本人而言,我在大一和大二时修习过大部分金融学课程。然而到目前为止,一些概念或知识对我来说还十分模糊。因此,这两年的学习时光将促使我在头脑中建立坚实的知识框架,同时,我也将乐于尽最大努力,帮助其他同学获取知识。
我曾与一些学长进行交流,他们都对在高金校园中的丰富学习体验给予了积极肯定,也坚信高金是为金融从业打造系统性知识结构的最佳选择。最后,我要衷心感谢高金的各位老师,感谢你们的辛勤努力,在未来两年中为我们提供大力支持和热情协助。

MF19 Student (MF General Track)
Graduated from Finance, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Hi, my name is Zhihan Xia, one of the newly enrolled students in MF19 at SAIF. It is my great honor to share some of my feelings and expectations for the upcoming 2-year study in Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance. I hope my sharing here can find me friends that cherish the same minds at the program so that we can work together in the coming two years and make this journey meaningful.
>> About myself
A bit color on me, I graduated from Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University with a degree in finance. There is one word I think can best describe my undergraduate period, which is “balance”. I think it is the essence for me to get through the 4-year journey, and I want to share it with you.
I had a great balance between study work and the cultivation of my interest. Apart from the academic performance I strive for, I spent pretty much time enjoying my spare moments. I was one of the members of the guitar club in SJTU and gave my hands to several large performances. I even have the chance to play during those events, and the applause from the audience inspires me a lot.
I also had a great balance between my self-made personality and collaboration with my friends. Though indeed I stayed up late for several nights for my exams, I learned more about the importance of teamwork throughout my undergraduate period. With such a collaborative spirit, one of the impressive teamwork achievements was the CFA research challenge. With my teammates, we had the chance to compete for the APAC final, and we mutually learned from each other through the competition.
With my previous experiences in finance major, I choose to further my study at SAIF, which is destined to be another wonderful journey.
>> Why SAIF & My Expectation for the Coming Two Years
SAIF has always been my dream school. I had early concepts about SAIF from media press early when I was choosing for university. Its international view and consolidated student development plan really fascinated me a lot. So it became one of the reasons I chose Shanghai Jiao Tong University instead of “YOU KNOW WHO” for undergraduate study. From the enrollment process, I learned more about SAIF, its view, and its expectations for the qualified candidates. I want to thank the professors from SAIF. It was their impressive speeches that trigger our interest in the financial industry and made us more determined to contribute to this sector.
SAIF adopted a high-quality selection for both its students and faculties. I think it is an open secret for the sustainable strong performance of SAIF. I feel so honor to study with such talented peers, and SAIF just creates the sharing environment for us to help each other. I also look forward to collaborating with the professors. It's their excellent insights into the financial industry that attracts me here.
SAIF is the right place for us to gain knowledge. I know that all of the students have already taken the Coursera courses, which marked the beginning of the 2-year study in SAIF. SAIF provides us with consolidated course modules. From the syllabus that was sent to us with email, and I found the courses are really useful for us to construct a foundation for knowledge in this financial industry, which is sure to benefit our future career. Moreover, the courses focus on different aspects, including finance and coding, etc., which may be the strength of students from different backgrounds. The interdisciplinary learning environment encourages all the students to share what they have learned during the undergraduate period and help those who have difficulties with the study so that we all can get the most from the 2-year period. For me, I took most of the finance courses during the freshman and sophomore year. Till now, some of the ideas or knowledge have become vague to me. So this 2-year study period is the right time for me to gain a solid knowledge framework in my mind, and also I will be willing to help my classmates in understanding the knowledge at my best.
I had talked to some of my friends who are in the senior grades. And they all give positive feedback on the great experiences at SAIF and agree on the point that SAIF the best choice to get a systematic education on the financial industry. And in the end, I want to express my sincere gratitude to hardworking faculty members at SAIF who give us support and warm help in the coming two years.
