Dear Incoming Students,
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Department of Financial Law at Ming Chuan University!
Congratulations on beginning an exciting new four-year journey filled with endless possibilities at Ming Chuan University. Your university years are not only a time to acquire knowledge, but also a crucial period for self-discovery and laying a solid foundation for your future career.
When people think of studying at a law school, the first image that often comes to mind is becoming a judge, prosecutor, or lawyer after graduation, wearing a legal robe, arguing cases in court, and upholding justice. Rest assured that the Department of Financial Law at Ming Chuan University provides students with a solid foundation in legal studies. In addition, the School of Law offers preparatory programs for national examinations and academic tutoring support. Our department will undoubtedly be your strongest support in pursuing your dream of a traditional legal career.
But more importantly, I want you to know this: Times are changing, and the legal profession must keep pace with these changes. The opportunities available to legal professionals are far broader than you might imagine!
The core strengths of the Department of Financial Law at Ming Chuan University lie in its emphasis on “Legal Studies and Interdisciplinary Integration” and “Practical Application.”
- Building Strong Professional Competencies in Advanced Legal Affairs: We go beyond teaching fundamental legal principles by incorporating interdisciplinary subjects such as corporate governance, financial regulations, anti-money laundering, and laws governing technology startups into our core curriculum. Through structured credit programs in securities and finance, insurance law, and financial legal affairs, we equip you with the knowledge and skills to understand corporate operations and developments in the financial sector.
- Integrating Theory, Professional Certifications, and Internships: Our department combines professional certification guidance with corporate internship opportunities, helping you build a solid foundation in law while gaining hands-on experience in the legal industry. By developing practical problem-solving skills during your university years, you will be well-equipped with a strong competitive edge in the job market upon graduation.
- Staying Ahead of Emerging Trends in ESG and AI Law: In response to global changes and the university’s strategic development priorities, we proactively integrate ESG sustainability governance, green finance, and artificial intelligence (AI) law into our curriculum. Through our courses, students learn to address the challenges posed by technological advancements, leverage AI to enhance their legal expertise, and develop a deep understanding of sustainability-related legal issues. Our goal is to cultivate highly sought-after interdisciplinary legal professionals who are ready to thrive in the next generation.
Through this educational approach, our alumni have developed strong legal foundations and interdisciplinary perspectives, enabling them to excel not only in traditional legal professions but also in a wide range of fields, including government agencies, major financial institutions, the technology industry, and startups. They have established an excellent reputation for Ming Chuan University’s law graduates as professional, dedicated, and trustworthy individuals, making meaningful contributions and achieving success across various industries!
