1. 不是前輩
2. 不了解.

谢谢建议。另外，找工作时，MFin,MEcon这些主干学科的硕士，会不会在简历关有优势？毕竟像港中文SEEM系统工程与工程管理，这样的专业，一般的企业HR是不是不太了解？

之前在另外一个帖子看到说港大经济的课程设置学起来会很轻松，所以大家一般进去就找工作了，不过港大牌子很好~是决定放弃中文了吗0 0

我看了一下faculty list: 里面的professor教育背景 亚欧美都有，美国的有Harvard,Chicago,Pennsylvania,Washington,Stanford,Princeton,Cornell, USC,Northwestern, Boston College,etc.欧洲的Oxford,LSE 亚洲的就是HKUST,NUS,还要澳洲的悉尼什么的。。。
看了课程Core courses include Advanced Microeconomic Theory,Advanced Macroeconomic Theory, Applied Econometrics 之后有两个cluster，Quantitative Economics Cluster( Macroeconometric Modeling and Forecasting/ Financial Econometrics/ Quantitative Methods/Economics of Financial Analysis) Analytical Economics Cluster( Money and Banking/Cost Benefit Analysis and Project Evaluation/Industrial Organisation/Labour Economics/Economic Growth and Development/ Behavioural Economics) 之后是选修课  Energy Economics/ urban Econ/ Health Econ什么的。
然后好像是9门课加上论文。 感觉课程硬度还可以。

HK people look down on engineering......unless you go to a technical department for which the knowledge is required. (and those department are looked down as a whole by the company in general......)

course part:
this is not enough. e.g. why people (and I) say HKU MEcon is 水 is because, when you look into the core micro and macro, for example they are using Varian, and looking into the course outline, it is quite sure they are at intermediate level (it is better now as HKU MEcon didn't core a econometric class before).

for NTU one, I had seen the keyword in the course outline, and tend to believe it is a solid one, but more evidence is needed.

do you think getting a name, instead of solid education is a good idea?

嗯嗯~我去找找outline或者syllabus来看，听说一些MEcon的项目，用的范里安的微观经济学和曼昆的宏观经济学。。也是醉了。。。

如果是就业为导向的话我觉得是的。。经济学的东西应用到工作的话应该不多吧。。同是RUCER路过。。。个人观点哈。。

this is indeed an open-end question, which depends on career goal.........and also in long-run vs short-run, and location......
and also the difference between the reputation, the difference between the quality.

经济学的东西应用到工作的话应该不多吧 <--- really depends on the role,
e.g. research assistant in central bank, government, banks   VS      MT role in bank.
e.g. FX / commodity analysis      VS      equity analyst.......

扯了一大堆还是删了 因为之前你问我名声和课程设置孰轻孰重的问题 我说了自己的看法 然而这个问题太宽泛 角度多 加上每个人选择不同 所以个人见解总会有偏颇之处 多多交流总是好的~NIGHT

的確如是.........只能說如何在兩者之間平衡, 是一個很personal的決定.

不過這類有關選校的分享, 最有意義的不在結果, 而是那個過程和邏輯 - because I want ABC, and XYZ is better in D, worse in E, still okay in F, and to get ABC, D is important, E is not, and etc.....and thus I choose XYZ instead of IJK...

虽然这个专业名称包含engineering,但是其实还是偏重于科学管理，优化之类的。而且要学一些数学。另外，金融机构不会只招金融专业的吧，经济、管理、理工科都有可能。只是我觉得这个专业的名称可能有一些费解，对一些HR来说。不知道是不是这样的？请大神指点。

你前面说到，课程水不水和找工作是两码事，意思就是说港大的其实工作好找咯？港大、港中文、港科这3个应该属于一个档次的吧，过了学校关，下面是不是就要看专业了。那港大是因为建校久有更多的校友资源吗，但这些资源Msc能用上吗？

<--- it is something like Operation Research + Engineering Management

<--- the main point is.......what division you would like....e.g. if you target at some IT / support role in bank, engineering is good. if you are targeting in research role, econ is slightly better.

<--- I don't mean that also........the correlation depends on the job nature.

<--- same tier; in sense of alumni, i guess HKU = CUHK > HKUST indeed. you cannot expect too much resource from alumni anyway....
