    Zhenshun went to the United States to --- to analyze the hardware requirements of financial engineering in the United States: American universities place great emphasis on diverse backgrounds, and students can greatly increase their competitiveness if they have a long period of overseas exchange and study experience: business competition or mathematical modeling competition experience; If a student has a strong experience in business entrepreneurship competitions, or has a good mathematical modeling competition award, it is also a shining point that can make students stand out from the crowd of applicants.

    GPA: at least the general requirements, and the above requirements of the TOP50 universities; Standardized score requirements: GRE or GMAT, IELTS or TOEFL scores.

    Score suggestion: TOEFL generally requires 100 and IELTS 7, both of which are acceptable; GRE generally requires a score of 320 or more, GMAT generally requires 700 or more, and generally both scores are recognized, and one can be provided; However, there are many exceptions, and the following top 50 universities explicitly do not accept GMAT: Financial Engineering at Columbia University, Financial Engineering at Cornell, Financial Mathematics at Chicago, Mathematical Computational Finance under Stanford ICME, Financial Mathematics and Financial Engineering at New York Univeristy, Financial Engineering at USC, Quantitative Finance and Risk Management at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

    GRE SUB is not required for almost all of these programs, but a small number of colleges and universities still highly recommend GRE SUB, such as the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

    Prerequisites:

    Many financial projects have requirements for mathematical foundation and computer programming ability, mainly calculus, linear algebra, statistics, C++, the specific situation may be slightly different for each institution, please refer to the official website requirements of each institution for details.

    Soft Background (Paperwork):

    A significant difference between business and science and engineering is that it values students' communication skills and leadership skills, pays attention to the application of knowledge theory in practical economic life, and especially emphasizes that students deepen the flexible application of theoretical knowledge through internships.

    Internship experience. The internship experience not only values the nature and reputation of the company in which the student interns, but also the growth and application ability of mathematics or computer science in the internship position, such as the use of mathematics and computer to study option pricing models, networked trading models, and the profit and risk calculation of wealth management products.

    Internship company. Recommend banks, ** companies, accounting firms, insurance company investment departments, asset management companies, exchanges, foreign exchange trading centers, etc.

    In particular, we recommend foreign banks, the Big Four accounting firms, and the finance departments of Fortune 500 companies.

    Qualified students should try to have a slightly different internship company and position each time, try to enhance students' understanding of each position, improve their comprehensive background, and be able to choose colleges and majors in the future.

    Overseas exchange experience.

    For graduate students in the United States, the application requirements are routinely required to include:

    Bachelor's degree; Undergraduate GPA transcripts;

    TOEFL IELTS score;

    GRE GMAT scores;

    internships, clerical work, etc.;

    To be precise, financial engineering is oneThe intersection of business and science and engineering, different projects will be metalworking and gold number projects in different colleges to show their own school in metalworking characteristics. Like what.

    Columbia's metalworking program is offered under the School of Engineering, which values the applicant's mathematical and physical background;

    Carnegie Mellon University's MSCF is offered under the Tepper School of Business, and due to the strong computer atmosphere of the whole school, Carnegie also prefers students with a particularly good computer background;

    Like the University of Michigan, Georgia Tech is located directly under the graduate school, and there is no designated unit to administer, and students are free to choose courses in the engineering school, business school, and mathematics department.

    Therefore, for the application of metalworking, the importance of each ability is:Mathematics and Computing Finance

    Even like Baruch College, the biggest criterion for admission is that they are good enough in math, because they think that there is a lack of programming that can be trained, and finance will not be able to make up for it, but math is the best reflection of an applicant's ability.

    Next, let's talk about the specific application.

    The United States does not offer gold work as an undergraduate major, so basically the applicants in the United States are students who change majors and apply, and basically have to apply for metal work in arts, science, business, medicine, law, etcMath:Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory, Measure Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Real Variable Functions, Stochastic Processes, Numerical Methods, Time Series Analysis.

    Computer:C++, Algorithms and Data Structures, (Python), (MATLAB).

    If you don't have time to take all the advanced courses in mathematics, you can choose two or three, such as random processes, time series, and so on. Computer skills such as MATLAB can be learned in an internship if you have not taken a class.

    Of course, in addition to these necessary courses, internships are also a very important part, especially if math and computer courses are not advanced courses, and the use of some modeling methods and computer skills in the internship will be greatly enhanced. In terms of general internships, it is recommended to find someInternship in a consulting firm or investment bank

    Key points of applying for financial engineering:

    One is the curriculum (math is the focus).

    The second is internship experience

    The third is the GPA and GT score of the undergraduate (GRE score, it is recommended to score above 325, of which Q is slightly more important).

    The duration of metalworking projects is generally years, and the tuition fees are different because of the policies of public and private schools and different schools, the cheap ones are 20w (only the tuition fee is counted), and the expensive ones are more than 40w.

    The above is an introduction to the application for financial engineering majors in the United States, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me

If you are already in the ERP industry, then you can choose it, because such an investment plus the title of SAP Master of Engineering, you may have the opportunity to enter the SAP parent company or a foreign company to work, but you are not doing ERP now, I think you need to think carefully, the ERP industry itself is a very particular project experience industry, SAP is even more so, in fact, the application and configuration of the entire SAP is not difficult, to make a well-configured machine, With three to five times you can know the approximate function distribution and configuration method of the SAP system, but the biggest advantage of SAP is not in the technology, but in the foundation of the ERP industry, that is to say, you are usually familiar with the business and process planning ability of a certain industry, and then combined with SAP technology, in order to make the SAP system to the level of standardizing the entire enterprise process, these can only rely on project experience and not rely on reading, even if there are practical courses in the SAP Engineering Master's degree, But it is still not as good as the project experience and maintenance experience in the enterprise SAP project, I think if you want to do SAP, at least you must be able to do an SAP project, there are still many companies here on SAP projects, you can go to these companies to do SAP internal implementation first, and then have one to two years of module implementation experience and maintenance experience, there is hope to come out and do it, which may be much faster than spending a lot of money to get a degree, and the cost is much lower. >>>More

The final degree certificate of Master of Engineering and equivalent academic ability is issued by the National Academic Degrees Office. It's just that the pass rate of the same academic ability is relatively low. To participate in the national unified examination for the same academic ability, you must first pass the graduate course class and complete the credits, and the equivalent academic ability and master's degree must be a bachelor's degree and work for three years after obtaining a bachelor's degree; If there is no degree in junior college or undergraduate, you can only obtain a certificate of completion in the end, and there is no qualification to apply for a master's degree. >>>More
