Against the backdrop of violent fluctuations in the global capital market and the accelerated innovation of financial technology, financial education is facing brand-new challenges, with the defects of traditional financial education becoming increasingly prominent: students possess knowledge tools but lack the ability to use them; there is a disconnect between university classrooms and actual investment decisions; graduates are deficient in practical operation capabilities; and a huge gap exists between theory and practice. However, at the same time, the threshold and demand in the financial talent market are constantly rising. Employers no longer only require theoreticalknowledge, but also practical investment research capabilities and a global perspective that can be directly applied.
Having been deeply engaged in international education for 28 years, Cogdel Education Group has established the Cogdel Curriculum Research Center for International Finance (CCRCIF) to address the predicament of "strong theory but weak practice" in financial and economic education. The establishment of the research center stems from the 18 years of in-depth efforts by KBF, a sub-brand of Cogdel Education Group. As a pioneer in the joint development of international financial and economic majors in Chinese universities, we have always focused on the pain points of the times and continuously pondered over one question: How to truly connect Chinese students with the global financial frontier? The International Finance Curriculum Research Center is our answer for the future. KBF has jointly established characteristic financial and economic majors with more than 60 Chinese universities, covering over 20 cities. It took the lead in integrating international authoritative certification systems such as ACCA, CFA, CIMA, and CMA into university teaching, and has served more than 100,000 students. It is precisely this accumulation of "understanding international standards, local conditions, and education" that enables the research center to possess the core capability of "localizing and implementing global resources" since its inception. This center is not only a curriculum development platform, but also a "bridge" connecting the global capital market with Chinese classrooms.
On September 11, Cogdel Education Group reached ain-depthstrategic cooperation with the former HSBC investment banking team led by Mark Coggins, which was a signing ceremony of symbolic significance. As a practical expert with more than 20 years of experience in the Asia-Pacific financial market, Mark Coggins holds the qualification of a Chartered Accountant (ACA) in the United Kingdom. He has served as the Head of Equity Research for Asia-Pacific at Banque Paribas and the Head of Equity Research for Asia-Pacific at HSBC, and has led a large number of cross-border capital market analysis and strategy formulation projects. Even now, you can still hear him providing decision-making references to global financial practitioners with real-time market insights in his podcastMark’s Morning Call.

In this cooperation, both parties will jointly lead the curriculum development and practical system design of the research center, transforming the "practical experience in global capital market operations" into training content suitable for Chinese young people, so that the output of the research center will have both international standards and practical depth.
The practical system jointly built by Cogdel Education Group and Mark’s team for the InvestUp Challenge strives to break the theoretical drawbacks of traditional financial education. With "real-time global market data + virtual fund operation + cross-border student competition" as the core, it constructs a full-process training system covering market research, strategy formulation, and portfolio management. As the first benchmark project of the research center, this course has been integrated into the curriculum system of cooperative universities — students can not only access real-time market quotes synchronized with the New York and London markets, but also receive guidance from former investment banking mentors, truly realizing an international training experience of "classroom as a battlefield".
Today, Cogdel Education Group is more than just a provider of all-dimensional international education services covering basic education, higher education, and vocational education. We have completed the layout of the education ecosystem in multiple fields. The establishment of the International Finance Curriculum Research Center is another testament to the Cogdel International Education Ecosystem we have built. We will continue to introduce high-quality global resources, export the innovative practices of Chinese education to the international stage, and make Cogdel Education Group a core hub for "connecting Chinese youth with global competitiveness", so as to achieve mutual empowerment with global education.
