Program Introduction

Overview

Since its inception in 2009, the Master of Finance (MF) program —the flagship program of the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University — has consistently upheld its core educational philosophy: professional, international, and market-oriented. The two-year, full-time curriculum is taught entirely in English by world-class faculty recruited directly from prestigious institutions worldwide. The program offers two specialized tracks — Finance (MF-General) and Financial Technology (MF-FinTech) — each combining a cutting-edge curriculum, an internationally oriented academic structure, and deep industry engagement aligned with global standards.

In the Financial Times (FT) Masters in Finance 2026 Ranking, the SAIF MF program ranked No. 6 globally, where alumni average salary three years after graduation ranked No. 1 in the world, Value for Money ranked No. 2 globally, and the employment rate within three months after graduation remained at 100%. The program previously achieved the No. 1 position in Asia for three consecutive editions and, since 2024, has been solidly placed in the global top 10 for three consecutive years. Currently, SAIF MF is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious finance programs in Asia.
