Objectives

Singapore’s role as a regional financial and economic hub positions it at the crossroads of international capital flows and development initiatives in Asia. Its integration with regional economies, China and ASEAN in particular, fuels demand for professionals who understand the interplay between macroeconomic trends, international financial markets, and development policies. The Graduate Certificate in International Finance and Economic Development in Asia addresses Singapore-specific needs of upskilling professionals in finance, policy and consulting sectors in leveraging regional macro-financial insights to guide investment decisions and company strategy. It is also of interest to government agencies and multinational companies seeking expertise in cross-border finance and development economics in country-specific contexts (Singapore and China). This certificate allows working professionals to upskill in the above areas without committing to a full-time master's programme in a way that is flexible and modular.



Who Should Attend

Professionals in the financial sector, multinational companies, government agencies, regulatory bodies, and international NGOs.




Entry Requirements

Applicants should possess a bachelor's degree, preferably in economics, finance, or a quantitative social science.

(ii) Candidates with other qualifications and experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to approval by Faculty/School.
