SUFE was founded in 1917 by a group of pioneers who aspired to restore the prosperity of China through modern business education. It was the first of its kind in China’s history of higher education. The majority of SUFE’s founding faculty members graduated from world-leading universities. They introduced the cutting-edge knowledge in Economics, Finance, and Business to China and aimed to cultivate strategic, entrepreneurial leaders who can transform the status quo and forge new paths for China’s development. Their global perspective and Chinese insight shaped SUFE’s distinctive spirit that still runs deep in today’s SUFE students.
SUFE is proud of its legacy yet resolute to be a future maker. Consistently ranked among China’s best university focusing on Economics, Finance and Management, SUFE is now one of the most established, comprehensive providers of business and management education in China and Asia. Our programs, responding closely to the industry and community needs, have nurtured generations of business leaders and prominent scholars both for China and the world. The increasing recognition of our excellence in research and teaching has integrated SUFE to a wider academic community. With generations of dedicated e orts, SUFE now has become a premier university whose rigorous, high-impact, and interdisciplinary research addresses issues of local and global relevance. The vision and mission as seen by the founding fathers are kept alive by SUFE faculty and students with a renewed understanding.
Proud of the 100 years of commitment, SUFE is leveraging its legacy and expertise that have stood the test of time to embark on a series of visionary and bold changes in every field. The university is pressing forward to be a leading university that shapes the future.
