SGFIN Official Opening
20 April 2023
At SGFIN official opening on 20 April 2023, the inaugural cohort of students from the Master of Science in Sustainable and Green Finance (MSc SGF) programme had the privilege of interacting with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr Lawrence Wong, together with NUS President, Mr Tan Eng Chye and the SGFIN Leadership Team – Professor Sumit Agarwal, Managing Director of SGFIN, Associate Professor Johan Sulaeman, Director of SGFIN and Associate Professor Zhang Weina, Deputy Director of SGFIN and Academic Director of MSc SGF programme.
As SGFIN looks to grow the talent pool in sustainable finance in Singapore and beyond, new scholarships for the MSc SGF programme will be offered in collaboration with NUS Business School.
Ms Jorgina Chieng, who is part of the programme’s first cohort that started in August 2022, shared, “What has impressed me the most about the programme are the opportunities to engage in practical work with real-life case studies and projects, specially designed to focus on the Asian and local context. Additionally, our professors are equally committed to the cause and very enthusiastic about helping us apply the principles that they taught. We have just started working on our capstone project with an external organisation to help them with a real-life sustainability problem, and I can already see the practical application of the theories and concepts learned in class.”.
