SDUFE was established in 2011 by uniting two universities: Shandong Economic University (established in 1952, one of the first economics universities in province) and Shandong University of Finance (1986). In these days SDUFE offers 62 subjects of study, in which study 33 thousand of students. Next to the standard economic subjects is also taught law and pedagogy.
