Alumni Network
Founded in 2007, the MSGF program has graduated over 600 alumni who hold diverse roles across the global finance industry. Our alumni community spans more than 50 countries, creating a valuable professional network for all members.
Upon completing the MSGF program, graduates become alumni of both HKUST and NYU. This dual affiliation grants access to a wide array of events, benefits, and networking resources from both institutions.

With nearly 110,000 NYU Stern alumni living and working in 138 countries, there is hardly a major industry anywhere that does not include Stern graduates in its ranks.
