We are pleased to announce a new industry partnership between the Department of Finance and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). The partnership has launched the new ICMA Young Fellowship Program open to year 3 and 4 undergraduate Quantitative Finance (QFIN) students.

The program provides professional exposure for students in the financial industry and helps them develop important skills, knowledge, and awareness related to practical issues in the market. The program also supports ICMA’s mission to raise its standards and promote inclusion in the industry.

This year, the program offers 10 scholarships (each worth HKD25,000+) exclusively for HKUST QFIN students. The awardees will also gain additional knowledge on securities operations, fixed income markets, and qualify for ICMA certificates. In addition, awardees can access the entire ICMA learning management system and participate in three online courses at ICMA, free-of-charge.
