All the full-time students could get career support from Professional Development Center(PDC). The PDC provides a comprehensive range of services to ensure our graduates are workplace-ready. Look at below to see some stories from students.


Student: Victor
Nationality: France
Work Place: Analyst Intern at an International Investment Institution
Keywords: Class Meeting



Victor has already had the opportunity to interview for Goldman Sachs and Pimco in Shanghai and although his profile and experience matched their desired criteria, it was his knowledge of the Chinese language that was lacking at the time. He was advised by the director of the Goldman Sachs Shanghai office that he should go to China’s Hong Kong where the language barrier would not be an issue. But his goal in the next two years is to be fluent in mandarin and being in an English-speaking environment like Hong Kong would be counterproductive to his aspirations.

Victor said: “I want to continue my professional life and education in Shanghai and getting an MBA and a Chinese language degree like the HSK or HKK will help me reach these goals.”


Student: Mr. Huang
Nationality: China
Work Place: Guotai Junan Securities
Keywords: Professional Development Center


Shortly after starting the programme, Mr. Huang decided on buyer at security secondary market as a career choice. Professional Development Center plays an important role in the process of launch a career in this industry. Mr. Huang thoroughly enjoyed meeting top consultants at events organized by the PDC, where they generously shared with students their experience with consulting, intriguing stories encountered during work and invaluable interview tips.


Mr. Huang has completed his first internship and now preparing for his next opportunity. But he told us, the most exciting part at FMBA FT+ is the Career Mentor Programme provided by PDC. Mentors come from a range of top firms spanning various industries, so students are able to select someone that is the closest aligned to their area of interest.


Mr. Huang told us ”The FMBA program in FISF provides rigorous and systematic training in finance and industry practice, inviting seniors lectures, seminars and events to impart knowledge and insights, and putting together a large pool of talents from all industries, where I can frequently exchange with classmates and alumni and build strong friendships with those of shared visions.”




Student: Tim
Nationality: United States
Work Place: Seeking for opportunities in financial market
Keywords: L.I.T.E. Course



Following Tim’s undergraduate education, he looked for a finance-based job in the area near his university as many of his friends and parents had encouraged. This was good for a while but he felt he wanted to do something more challenging and global than refinance mortgages, so he decided to come to China. Teaching in a kindergarten has become great experience.

Even though when Tim arrived in Hangzhou he had no teaching experience and had never worked in a bilingual environment but he quickly grew to enjoy the job.


Tim realized there is massive business growth opportunity in South East Asian and African markets, which he sees China as perfectly positioned to capitalize on over the next decade. That’s why Tim applied the FMBA FT+ programme.

Now the staff from Professional Development Center not provide one-on-one consultation and bespoke advice, but also help him to gain insights into the finance industry in China, learn about its unwritten rules and how to survive and succeed. But Tim was unexpected got his first opportunity to convert his career into finance when he was selected to participate “plug and play” in the unique LIVE learning Project, as where he will review 1000 real time decks in the smart tech industry and if everything goes smoothly, he will get the internship from US Silicon Valley Office with portfolio startups.

Tim believes, “I believe Fanhai International School of Finance, Fudan University would be an invaluable part of my journey to realize this ambition by equipping myself with the knowledge and skills of an FMBA but also by building a network of business contacts.”
