Transfer Student Admission

If you are currently enrolled in a university but gradually realize that your current field of study does not align with your future goals, the Department of Financial Technology Applications at Ming Chuan University offers a transfer student admission pathway. This allows you to build upon your existing academic foundation while transitioning into an interdisciplinary learning track that integrates finance and technology.

Which students are suitable to apply for the Transfer Examination?

The Transfer Examination for this department is particularly suitable for students with the following backgrounds or learning situations:

Some students gradually realize, after spending time in their current program, that it does not fully align with their interests or long-term plans. The transfer student admission pathway offers an opportunity to shift toward a field that better matches emerging trends and personal development—without having to start from scratch. If you have begun thinking seriously about what you want to do in the future, rather than only what you are currently studying, this may be an option worth considering.
If your original major has a background in information technology, mathematics, management, or business,
you will be able to transition more smoothly into the relevant coursework after transferring to the Department of Financial Technology Applications.
Many students combine their existing strengths with FinTech application scenarios,
creating a cross-disciplinary learning advantage rather than simply “switching to another major and starting over.”
Even if your current major is not directly related to finance or technology,
as long as you have a clear interest in FinTech, data analysis, or digital applications,
you can gradually build relevant capabilities through the curriculum design.
What the department values most is learning motivation and the ability to understand concepts, rather than prior academic background alone.
For many students who are already enrolled in university, “starting over for another four years” is often the biggest psychological barrier.
The transfer student system allows you to retain earned credits and continue your studies where they can be articulated.
If you want to adjust your academic direction and future path while keeping time costs under control,
the transfer admission route is a practical and realistic option to consider.

What Will You Study After Transferring to the Department of Financial Technology Applications?

After transferring to the department, course articulation and study planning will be arranged by the department based on the credits you have already completed and your year of admission.

The curriculum covers:

  • Fundamentals of Financial Technology and Practical Applications

  • Programming and Data Analysis

  • Digital Finance, Blockchain, and Innovative Technologies

Even without a directly related academic background, students can progressively build comprehensive capabilities through the program’s curriculum design.
