The City University of Hong Kong has joined hands with the Beijing National Accounting Institute (BNAI) to launch a new Master of Science in Accounting and Finance with AI and Fintech Applications (MScAF). The programme has been approved by the Ministry of Education of the Mainland Government and the admissions for the first student cohort will embark soon.

“The College is committed to developing cutting edge academic programmes to meet the needs of society, and the introduction of the MScAF programme marks another curriculum innovation. The programme targets mid-level accounting and financial managers who are interested in updating themselves with contemporary AI and fintech applications in their fields,” said Professor Houmin Yan, Acting Dean of the College.

BNAI is one of the three accounting education institutes established at the national level to provide advanced professional education to practicing accountants and finance managers at the master’s level. At CityU College of Business, our departments of Accountancy, Economics and Finance, and Information Systems join hands to offer an interdisciplinary curriculum for the MScAF programme. The new programme will be delivered mainly at the BNAI’s Beijing campus and partly at CityU’s Kowloon Tong campus with BNAI and CB faculty equally sharing the teaching.
