Graduation year: 2023
Current Status: Technology Associate at Morgan Stanley

My major is Financial Technology, which is under the department of SEEM. The programme covered a broad variety of topics, from financial mathematics to information systems. It offered me ample exposure in both finance and technology, as well as the combination of these two subjects, that is, applying the latest technology in the financial world. The training in this programme has also strengthened my analytic skills and attention to details. These knowledge and skills helped me secure a job in one of the top-tier investment banks in the world, Morgan Stanley. My current role is a technology associate under the Institutional Securities Technology Department, where I am responsible for developing and optimizing the Fixed Income Risk Calculation System in the firm.

If I had a second chance, I would still choose this programme to study in my university life. It has taught me a lot and paved my professional career path.

Graduation year: 2024

Current status: Preparing to study for a master’s degree in Japan

If you want to study an engineering program but do not want to be limited to one or two fields, then SEEM is absolutely suitable for you. Here, you will not only learn algorithms and programming languages, but also gain in-depth understanding of system engineering principles and practices from multiple perspectives, including system design, data processing, development, operation, and management. In the real world, talents who are good at management and possess engineering skills are in short supply. At this point, practical knowledge of system engineering and engineering management will come in handy.

In addition, not only does the program offer a wide range of industries to work in after graduation, but the training provided by the SEEM program also offers more choices for my future studies compared to other engineering programs, such as business management, computer science, and data science.

I hope you can choose the subject you like and have a wonderful university life!
