The economics and finance disciplines in Xiamen University were first established in 1921 and have a long tradition of excellence in teaching and research, with a focus on the role of institutions in economic and social development. Mr. Wang Yanan, the former President of Xiamen University for 19 years and the renowned economist who translated Adam Smith's Wealth of the Nation and Karl Marx's Das Kapital into Chinese, guided the rapid development of economics disciplines in XMU since 1949.In September of 1981, China's State Education Ministry approved the elevation of the Department of Economics to the School of Economics, making it the first school of economics established among top universities in mainland China since 1978.
Department of Finance at School of Economics, Xiamen University, has a long history back to 1921 as banking program of business department when Xiamen University was established. The department has also experienced a glorious history and become one of top finance programs in Mainland China.
