Program overview
Asset valuation may sound abstract, but it's actually quite simple—it's about putting a price on various things. For example, when a company goes public, how much are its shares worth? When a factory is being sold, how much are its equipment, brand, and patents worth? All of these require an asset valuer to calculate. Core courses include: Principles of Asset Valuation, Business Valuation, Real Estate Appraisal, Intangible Asset Valuation, Financial Management, Accounting, Economics, Laws and Regulations. You'll learn how to analyze financial statements, use market data, and build models to crunch numbers. This major suits people who are good with numbers, enjoy analysis, and are detail-oriented. If you're curious about the business world and want to know "is this thing really worth that price?", you'll enjoy studying it. A unique feature of Chinese universities in this field: many schools have close ties with companies, such as co-building internship bases with asset valuation firms and accounting firms. You'll have opportunities to work on real cases, like helping a tech company evaluate its patent value or appraising a real estate project. Additionally, the exam system of the China Appraisal Society is well-established—getting certified smooths your career path.
