China People's Bank graduate department
First, the school profile
China People's Bank graduate department was established in 198 1. It was the beginning of reform and opening up, and the financial industry was in a hurry. Under the leadership of the People's Bank of China, with the strong support of commercial banks and financial institutions, our school was established. Because it is located in Wudaokou, Haidian District, Beijing, everyone affectionately calls her Wudaokou. Over the past 20 years, more than 800 masters and nearly 50 doctors have come out of China's financial industry, and now "crossing people" have become a unique landscape in the financial industry.
When the school was founded, graduate department's Dongsheng Commune was still a suburb. At that time, all the teaching facilities were rented, and the school buildings were very simple. An I-shaped two-story red brick building was originally a newly-built outpatient department and inpatient department of Dongsheng Commune Health Center bought by the Financial Cadre College of China People's Bank, from which the People's Bank rented more than a dozen rooms as classrooms and student dormitories. At that time, the school didn't have a computer, and there weren't many books, only a car was used to pick up lecturers. Both the principal and the staff go to work by bus. It is in this environment that graduate department, China People's Bank, together with students, began to be baptized in the cold window and melted in the humble room.
Although graduate department is an institution of higher learning in the People's Bank of China, the teaching environment has been so simple for a long time. However, people can't judge people by their appearances, and the sea water is immeasurable. Wudaokou, a seemingly pitiful grass nest, is a nest full of golden eggs. Over the past 20 years, groups of financial talents have left school and actively joined the financial front to promote the reform of China's financial system. Wudaokou is like a magnet, attracting students from all over the country who are interested in financial career. It is also like a melting pot. No matter graduates of university finance major or people with non-professional background, they are all melted into senior financial professionals.
Today, Wudaokou has taken on a new look. It has built a school complex consisting of four parts: teaching building, library, dormitory building and comprehensive service building. It also has a "multi-functional" playground, which can be used as a basketball court, volleyball court and tennis court, as well as a totally free gym and table tennis room. Student dormitories are all three-star standard rooms, which are very comfortable. With the development of hardware facilities, Wudaokou people will continue to uphold the style of hard work of their predecessors and forge a more brilliant future in this hot land of Wudaokou.
To outsiders, graduate department's outstanding achievements are inevitably mysterious and unattainable because of her low-key style. Some people call her the "Whampoa Military Academy" in financial circles, while others compare her to Harvard Business School in the United States. "In the United States, getting an MBA from Harvard is regarded as a passport to business success. In China, this passport is the degree certificate of graduate department of the People's Bank of China. " The report in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post is a true portrayal of her position in China's financial circles.
Second, the professional curriculum
Graduate department's master students are all financial majors, with four research directions: money banking, international finance, securities investment and insurance. The basic courses in the four directions are the same, but there are differences in the setting of individual professional courses to reflect the characteristics of each research direction. Graduate department borders Tsinghua University to the north and Peking University to the west. "Love the North, inherit the wind of the West Yanyuan Garden", graduate department keeps close contact with Peking University, Tsinghua and other universities in teaching and scientific research by virtue of its convenient geographical conditions.
Graduate department's curriculum is reasonable, which not only keeps up with the latest international practice and theoretical situation, but also fully reflects the direction of China's economic and financial reform. It not only conforms to international practice, but also fully considers the characteristics of China. 1In September 1995, graduate department implemented a new teaching reform plan, fully estimated the financial trend of China in the next few years, and based on the technical assistance project of the World Bank, incorporated courses such as financial engineering, mergers and acquisitions, investment and corporate finance into the teaching content to meet the needs of future policy analysts and managers in China. From June 5, 2000 to 10, in order to meet the needs of China's financial system reform and keep up with the general trend of world financial innovation, the graduate department Academic Degrees Committee set up a special group to study and guide the curriculum reform in graduate department.
Third, the teaching characteristics
In the past twenty years, Wudaokou has experienced a development process from unconsciousness to consciousness in cultivating applied graduate students in finance. A completely open school is the biggest feature of the People's Bank of China in graduate department. External tutor system, external professor system and "walking on two legs" system all reflect the taste of "openness".
External tutor system. Graduate department has always adhered to the pragmatic style of running a school, has a unique tutor system, and has hired a large number of experts and scholars with rich practical experience as tutors. They are knowledgeable and experienced, and have deep feelings for China and even international economic and financial issues that are in line with China's reality. They really teach people. Since its establishment, graduate department, the People's Bank of China, has hired all previous masters and doctoral supervisors who are basically outstanding people in the financial field. About 40% of graduate department's tutors are from the People's Bank of China, and 60% are from financial supervision departments such as CSRC and CIRC, and financial institutions such as policy banks, commercial banks, securities companies, stock exchanges and insurance companies. This system was not understood by colleges and universities in 1980s, but it became a common method adopted by many colleges and universities in the second half of 1990s.
External teacher system. Hiring well-known experts and professors at home and abroad to teach at Wudaokou is another major feature of the school. Traditional university teachers are teachers who teach in universities, get paid and enjoy benefits, and are registered in universities, while the People's Bank of graduate department adopts the teacher evaluation system. The teacher evaluation system refers to the comprehensive evaluation of the hired teachers every year, and decides whether to continue the employment according to the teachers' teaching situation and students' feedback, and makes appropriate adjustments to the teachers according to the development of the times and the changes of the curriculum. In the past twenty years, graduate department has hired famous professors from Peking University and China Renmin University as academic consultants. The professors of basic theory and tools courses in China mainly come from Peking University, Tsinghua University, China Renmin University, Central Party School, Institute of International Relations and other institutions. External employment rather than fixed employment ensures the flexibility and high quality of teachers' teaching.
Hiring foreign professors is an important part of the external system. Since the establishment of 198 1, graduate department, the People's Bank of China, has always adhered to the policy of opening up schools and constantly hired foreign experts, scholars and professors to give lectures. In the past two decades, many foreign experts, scholars and professors have stood on the podium in graduate department, including internationally renowned professors and executives of large financial institutions. In addition, taking advantage of the numerous advantages of foreign banks in Beijing, representatives of foreign banks in Beijing are often invited to introduce the banking systems and businesses of various countries. At present, there are at least two specialized courses taught in English by foreign university professors every semester. By adopting the latest foreign textbooks and international cases, students' knowledge level and knowledge structure are directly in line with international standards, which not only broadens students' thinking, but also improves students' foreign language ability.
"Walking on two legs" system. The aim and development direction of running a school in graduate department is to combine degree education with the training of senior cadres in the financial industry and implement the policy of "walking on two legs". On the one hand, it trains applied graduate students and doctoral students, on the other hand, it trains professional cadres for the financial system. These two aspects of work have the function of "complementary advantages". Studying together with training cadres with rich practical experience will help graduate students to increase their understanding of practical work, which is consistent with the goal of training applied talents in graduate department. Trainers can learn and communicate with outstanding students selected through rigorous examinations, and they can also be promoted. Training in graduate department includes domestic, international, short-term and long-term training programs.
Fourth, the lecture situation
Graduate department's teaching attaches great importance to pragmatism, which is fully reflected in graduate department's unique financial lectures. Every semester in graduate department, special lectures are held for students, and experts, scholars and practitioners from all fields at home and abroad are invited to proofread the latest financial and economic issues, so that students can always stand at the forefront of financial reform and development and have a truly profound insight into the real financial problems in China.
Since 198 1 was founded, graduate department has always adhered to the policy of opening schools, and constantly invited foreign experts, scholars and professors to give lectures or hold lectures in our school. In the past two decades, many foreign experts, scholars and professors have stood on the podium in graduate department, including internationally renowned professors and executives of large financial institutions. In addition, taking advantage of the numerous advantages of foreign banks in Beijing, representatives of foreign banks in Beijing are often invited to introduce the banking systems and businesses of various countries. At present, special lectures on finance are offered every semester to expose students to the forefront of financial theory and practice.
Over the past twenty years, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been providing Wudaokou with a lot of technical assistance, and has sent senior experts to our school for many times to give special lectures. The World Bank also provides technical assistance to graduate department. The Asian Development Bank designated the graduate department Library of the People's Bank of China as its special collection library in Beijing.
Graduate department teachers and students of the People's Bank of China actively participated in the reform practice, never stopping, and embarked on a road of combining theory with practice. This is not only the foundation for the success of Daokou students, but also the foundation for the success of graduate department's school-running model. They don't "turn a deaf ear to things outside the window and read only sage books", but "care about family affairs, state affairs, what's going on in the world and everything" They not only care about China's financial problems, but also care about international financial problems. They not only learn advanced theoretical knowledge, but also learn how to apply theory to practice. Their greatest practice is to actively participate in the financial system reform in China. Liu Hongru's inscription for the 10th anniversary of graduate department is not only a teacher's ardent hope for students, but also an encouragement and affirmation of integrating the theory of "Daokousheng" with practical actions, and a proper interpretation of the purpose of graduate department-China People's Bank.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Employment situation

Many of them were rated as professors, researchers and senior economists, and many of them won various honorary titles and awards, such as national advanced producers, top ten outstanding young people in the financial system, Sun Prize in Economics and experts and scholars with outstanding contributions. Among the graduates working in government agencies, some have held leadership positions at the deputy ministerial level and department level, and more than half have held leadership positions at the department level.
Six, through life
Life at the intersection is also colorful. Although the number of students admitted each year is small, they are full of energy and various activities are colorful. Students' union and other formal or informal groups have added infinite fun to the intense study life. If you have any hobbies or skills, you can shine at Wudaokou.
Daokou people have always attached importance to academics and have a strong sense of reality. In addition to the most distinctive lectures by famous scholars, students' own thoughts will be exchanged through regular and irregular channels such as "economic and financial research seminars" and "financial forums". The amount of information obtained and the pleasure of thinking collision are very helpful to the construction of their own knowledge structure and the deepening of theoretical understanding.
In terms of literature and art, every year when freshmen enter school, you will wait for the welcome party carefully arranged by brothers and sisters at the crossing, and the tension when you first come to the crossing will dissipate with the wind. After the welcome ball, there are two major activities, National Day and New Year's Day party, and everyone has a stage to fully display their talents. Others such as dance, karaoke, calligraphy and photography exhibitions. The school will provide you with opportunities! For example, this year's calligraphy and painting exhibitions in eight famous universities in Beijing not only promoted exchanges between universities, but also gave everyone an artistic edification.
But on the whole, Wudaokou's life is mostly spent in a busy time. Usually, everyone has a lot of classes. For freshmen, there are classes almost every day. After a week, everyone felt tired. Maybe it's easier to be a sophomore and a junior because there are few classes, but writing a paper also requires a lot of energy and time, and it's not easy to participate in social practice.
Nevertheless, everyone still finds time to relax in the busy interval, and life should be easy. Everyone understands this truth. Moreover, generally speaking, everyone has his own hobbies. Wudaokou is a small place, but there are many activities. Football, basketball, volleyball and table tennis are all enthusiastic, and all kinds of competitions are overwhelming.
The life of the traveler is indeed endless.
