On the morning of June 6, 2022, the Finance Department of BNUBS held an online conference on the Tencent Conference platform to discuss the revision of the training program for the two undergraduate majors of finance and fintech. Hu Haifeng, Chairman of Finance Department and faculty members, including Hu Conghui, Hu Songming, Jiang Jie, LI Kun, Li Rui, SUN Yunchuan, WU Yanran and Xiang Hongyu participated in the discussion.

First of all, Mr. Hu Haifeng introduced the background, significance and overall direction of the revised undergraduate training program. Ms. Jiang Jie reported the school's revised framework requirements for the new version of the training program, surveys organized by the School recently (including the summary of the situation of fresh graduates, the Economics Department of the University of Toronto, the Business School of Hitotsubashi University and other foreign universities, and the first-class management schools of Sun Yat-sen University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University and other domestic universities) and the specific situation of the current 2015 undergraduate training program.

Secondly, the participating teachers expressed their opinions and suggestions on the needs of financial talents under the new situation, the revised requirements of the new training program, the training experience of first-class business schools at home and abroad and the specific curriculum arrangement. They reached some preliminary consensus in the discussion. For example, they should do a good job in the construction of the curriculum system, coordinate the content division and positioning of the core courses of finance, and form a professional curriculum system from shallow to deep and gradually advanced. Second, the construction of research methods and tools should be strengthened, such as the integration of data processing ability and financial courses, and the addition of paper reading and writing courses, so as to improve students' practical operation ability. Third, we should supplement the construction of some characteristic financial courses, such as Chinese financial history, financial ethics and other courses, to build the financial brand of normal University. Fourthly, some existing courses should be reformed and upgraded, and teaching forms should be innovated to enhance students' interest in learning.

Finally, Mr. Hu Haifeng summarized the meeting. Talent training is the central work of universities, and undergraduate talent training is the cornerstone of high-level talent training. With a high sense of mission and responsibility, we should do a good job in the revision of the undergraduate talent training program, conduct extensive research, fully demonstrate, pool our wisdom, and work together to cultivate first-class high-level composite financial talents for the Party and the country.
