安徽财经大学金融学院以本科、研究生教学为主，集科研、社会服务于一体的教学管理单位，其专业学科——金融学科，不仅是我校的强势学科和优势学科，而且在安徽居于领先、在全国位居中上流。在多年的办学实践中，逐步形成了以培养优质人才为目标、以专业学科建设为龙头、以教学质量为中心、以师资队伍和科研建设为依托、以为地方经济建设服务为特色等优势明显、特色突出的办学模式。

　　安徽财经大学金融学科所属的金融专业最早建立于1959年，是安徽省高校中最早设立金融学专业的系科，该专业一直持续到文化大革命我校停止招生为止。1978年我校金融学科恢复招生。1978年我院恢复招生后改为财金专业，后又于1984年确定为金融学专业，1993年增设投资专业（专科），1994年金融学专业更名为货币银行学专业，1995年根据市场需求的变化，经教育部批准设置为货币银行学和保险学两个专业，1996年又增设了国际金融学专业，成为货币银行学、保险学、国际金融三个专业。

　　1997年根据教育部规定将三个专业合并为金融学专业。2003年，保险专业恢复招生。在这种大背景下，近十几年来我系为适应频繁复杂的变化，根据金融人才市场需求和金融国际化、一体化、自由化以及金融体制改革发展的实际，适时进行专业结构的调整。金融学专业从专业的综合含义出发，实行人才培养目标设计法，以金融机构和金融市场人力资源的需求数量、需求质量、需求结构、需求层次及时调整专业方向及其课程系列，建立了具有安徽财经大学金融系本身特色的专业方向和比较优势金融学科体系。

　　以专业学科建设为龙头，是我院一贯坚持的办学方针。为了适应高等教育的快速发展和经济建设对人才需求，我院始终把专业学科建设放在首位，加大对传统专业的改选，使其成为强势和优势专业，根据市场需求和经济类专业的资源优势，适时地增设新专业。截至目前，我院设有三个本科专业，分别是：金融学——1959年设立，是我校历史悠久的传统优势专业之一，也是安徽省的教学改革示范专业；保险学——1995年设立，2001年恢复，学科目录外特色专业；金融工程——2003年设立，学科目录外特色专业；设有金融学（含保险学1996年）硕士点。

　　金融学专业是安徽省教改示范专业，金融学是安徽省重点学科，金融学教学团队也是安徽省教学团队。长期以来，金融学院坚持教育教学改革，探索新形势下的教育教学规律，一切以教学质量为中心，是我院一贯竖立的办学理念。在教育教学改革中，把学生的思想道德素质、专业技能素质溶于一体，把课堂教学、实验教学、社会实践溶于一体，把素质培养和能力提高放在首位。改革教学方法与手段，适时更新教学内容，严格教学监控体系。加强教学研究和教材建设，我院金融学科目前已有五门精品课程：《货币银行学》（主持人：潘淑娟教授）、《证券投资学》（主持人：丁忠明教授）、《保险学》（主持人：张国海教授）、《财产与责任保险》（主持人：李加明副教授）和《国际金融》（主持人：徐旭初教授）。截至目前，我院的《证券投资学》、《货币银行学》一批课程被评为省级重点课程和省级精品课程。

　　人才的培养、专业建设与师资队伍有着密切联系，近年来，随着我校人才政策的实施，通过外部引进和内部培养与提高，我院逐步形成了一支以中青年教师为骨干、梯队整齐、结构合理的高素质师资队伍，一大批中青年教师在教学与科研中脱颖而出，成为学科建设、教学与科研建设的主力军。截至目前，我院共有教职工42人，从学历结构看，具有博士学位的教师9人，占教师总数的21.4 %，具有硕士学位的教师17人，占教师总数40.5%；从职称结构看，教授7人，副教授10人，具有高级职称的教师占教师总数的40.5%；从年龄结构看，46岁以上的教师4人，占教师总数的10%，36-45岁以下的教师15人，占教师总数的35.7%。35岁以下的教师有12人，占教师总数的28%。他们在学科建设、教书育人、科研和地方经济服务中发挥着带头作用。我院是安徽省金融学会理事单位（人民银行领导的）、安徽省保险学会理事单位、中国金融教材工作委员会委员单位。

　　School of Finance of AUFE (Anhui University of Finance and Economics) is mainly engaged in education for undergraduates and postgraduates. It is a teaching organization which combines academic researches with social services. The finance discipline, known as its specialty discipline, not only is a strong and superior discipline in the university but also takes the lead in Anhui Province and ranks high in China. Decades of experiences in teaching practice have shaped its unique and advantageous teaching model which is designed to nurture quality talents, with discipline construction as the flagship, focusing on improving teaching quality, supported by qualified staff and academic construction, and features serving the local economic development.

　　Founded in 1959, the finance program of AUFE is the earliest among universities and colleges in Anhui Province. It was suspended during the Cultural Revolution and was recovered in 1978 with the name changed to finance and accounting program and returned to its original name in 1984. The investment program was added in 1993. The finance program was renamed monetary banking program in 1994. In 1995, the insurance program was added in accordance with market requirement with the approval from the Ministry of Education. Later in 1996, the addition of the international finance program makes the school enlarge to include three programs --- monetary banking, insurance and international finance.
　　The three programs were merged into finance program in 1997 according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education. The insurance program was restored in 2003. The timely adjustment of programs to suit the increasingly complex external environment has already formed its characteristic subject system with comparative advantages.

　　The school has always seen discipline construction as the flagship, which is the guiding principle for running school. The discipline construction was always put in the first place in order to cope with the rapid development of higher education and economic construction.Up to now, three undergraduate programs are offered, namely, finance program (set up in 1959), insurance program (set up in 1995), financial engineering program (set up in 2003). Besides, finance postgraduate program is also offered in the school.

　　The finance program is a demonstration program for education reform in Anhui Province. The teaching faculty for finance is also an excellent team in Anhui Province. It has been our firm belief that the quality of teaching is at the center of all activities. Our school is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary talents. The school has five top quality courses, namely, monetary banking (charged by professor Pan Shujuan), securities investment (charged by professor Ding Zhongming), insurance (charged by professor Zhang Guohai), property and liability insurance (charged by associate professor Li Jiaming) and international finance (charged by professor Xu Xuchu). Up to now, such courses as securities investment and monetary banking were granted province-level key courses and top quality courses.

　　The cultivation of talents has a close relationship with program construction and teaching staff. With the implementation of encouraging policies for attracting high-quality intellectuals, the school gradually formed a teaching team with high quality by internal cultivation and external recruitment. A large number of young and middle-aged teachers stand out who have already become the main forces in discipline construction and academic research.Up to now, the school has 42 teaching and administrative staffs among whom 9 have doctor’s degree, 17 have master’s degree. There are 7 professors and 10 associate professors in the shool.
