EdUHK's MA in Personal Finance Education Programme Wins Programme Excellence Award
The Master of Arts in Personal Finance Education (MA (PFE)) programme at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) has been honoured with the 2025 Greater Bay Area Master Programme Excellence Model Award. The award was given for the programme’s excellence in academic quality and its significant contribution to talent development and regional collaboration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Jointly organised by MBAChina and the magazine Manager, the 2025 China Business School Development Forum and Education Grand Ceremony was held in Beijing recently. Recognised as one of the most prominent annual events in China’s business education sector, the forum featured keynote speeches, leadership dialogues, an awards ceremony, and a networking gala.
The Greater Bay Area Master Programme Excellence Model Award celebrates master’s programmes that integrate regional development characteristics, demonstrate outstanding educational philosophy, and achieve notable results in talent cultivation. Awarded programmes are distinguished by strengths in curriculum design, industry-academia-research collaboration, international engagement, and student practice, serving as exemplary models in higher education across the region.
The judging panel commended the innovative positioning of EdUHK’s MA (PFE) programme. As the first financial master's programme in the GBA to integrate wealth management and financial planning, the programme aligns with Hong Kong's strategic development as an international hub for wealth management and green finance, while addressing the growing demand for versatile financial services professionals. Centred on personal and household finance, the curriculum encompasses three frontier fields of wealth management, green finance, and financial planning. The panel also recognised MA(PFE)’s achievements in practice-based teaching and learning, industry collaboration, social responsibility and community engagement, and international collaboration.
Dr Tan Weiqiang, Programme Leader of MA (PFE), remarked, “This award affirms the accomplishments of the University and the programme, and inspires us to continue advancing financial education in alignment with GBA development, talent cultivation, and global financial trends.” He added that the programme is closely attuned to the latest developments in Hong Kong’s financial services initiatives and national development strategy, and introduced new modules, such as Islamic Finance, in the 2025/26 academic year, in collaboration with universities in Arab countries, to further broaden students’ international perspectives.
