个人感觉没什么差别。因为毕竟你还是要回国。这几所港校都很够有名气了。个人很喜欢港大的气氛。如果是我我 ...

确实回国就业主要还是看自己，之前有给人安利了好久科大结果还是抵不过一句“港大是我从小的dream school"囧，真的还是看自己喜欢

赞同。这个和经济学一样，一般人都认为钱越多越好，但是经济学在看utility，可能钱在某一点开始就diminishing，这个真的看人的preference

首先我们讨论经济的MSc的话，专业性都是笑话，你做两个水实习都比在学校里上专硕最难的课要专业，当然学校 ...

Look at the textbook of the core micro and marco in HKU MEcon,  ans then u will understand why HKUST one is deemed as mathematical.

You know ga la,  a master in blow water economics is the dream and expectation for many people.

哈哈没有调查就发言了是我的错~

看了一下港大宏微观analysis的syllabus，课本就不找了有点烦，光看topics covered确实我科每门课要多大概两个大章节...

然而话说回来吹水也要按照基本法的吧，不然面试的时候被拆穿那画面简直太美不敢想象

The key point is indeed:

HKU MEcon have a (Session A) core micro and macro for those without intermediate micro & macro before, and this two Session A core class are at senior undergraduate level only (which is evidenced by the course syllabus, which stated that those with intermediate micro & macro are not allowed to take it).
Not to mention econometrics was just a elective of it back three or four year ago. (i.e. one can graduate from a econ master without any econometrics before)

you can tell how "water" can such a master be.

indeed, this is a good news to those who just want a title for job search. they don't have to worry about "面试的时候被拆穿" as they are not interested, not qualified, for any role that required a solid economics background (and there are not much role require a solid econ background anyway)

but if one wanna have the chances to work on a econ related role (e.g. research assistant / economist in central bank/policy unit/govt, econ/marco related side research of financial industry, and etc...), a more solid program, with correct choice of course are definitely a must.













following is for reference: (http://www.sef.hku.hk/upload/cou ... CON6021A_HZhang.pdf)

ECON6021A Microeconomic Analysis (Session A)

Prerequisites:

This course is designed as a core course for MECON students. The student is supposed to have some basic knowledge on elementary calculus and probability theory. Knowledge on basic economics is also helpful. The student is NOT permitted to register in this section, if he/she has taken both intermediate microeconomics course (equivalent to Econ2101 or Econ2113) and uncertainty/information economics course (equivalent to Econ706).

Textbooks:
1. Required: “Microeconomic Analysis”(3rd Edition) by Hal R. Varian.
2. Recommended but not required: “Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach” (8Ed), by Hal R. Varian.

P.S. of course one can make the HKU MEcon a solid one by oneself. just take the theory one instead of analysis one. but normally, 99% of the class wont do that......and one can imagine the academic environment and industrial reputation.

因为截止日期太早真的没想好，还有就是港科的专业性真的可以碾压港大的知名度么？这两天真的好纠结

发现之前语气可能比较不友善，道个歉...

另外一件事，毕业以后回国找工作本科的校友网络可能还比香港的更管用囧，所以本科的学长学姐甚至同级生里面有大腿的话赶紧去抱，一方面他们入职以后信息比较透明很多事情看得更清楚，运气再好点直接给你内推一个比你美帝Top20毕业回来都管用...

為了overall reputation, 為了dream school, 捨了專業排名和課程質素
那真的是別人的權利.

我能夠說的就只有: 不夠professional.

舉個很簡單的例子就是, 拿到了LBS的MBA, 99.99%是不會考慮Oxford的. Same logic apply on HKUST vs HKU.

沒有甚麼太多可以寫的:

1. econ research ranking = business school ranking = "HKUST > CUHK >> HKU"
2. overall reputation, HKU > CUHK > HKUST, but within same tier. general job application door opening ability = indifferent
3. program structure = hkust similar with cuhk one, while hku one is at suitable level for those who have no solid background in math & econ.

Conclusion: for whatever purpose (either academics towards PhD or find a job), go HKUST if have the offer. If only have HKU and CUHK offer on hand, go CUHK if one's own career plan need a more solid economics or analytical training, else HKU for more time to enjoy life, or a title to make dad & mom to show off to other relatives.

P.S.1 if really for academics, one should first consider CUHK MPhil econ indeed.

P.S.2 I can indeed see that HKU MEcon is trying to make their program more and more solid these few years.
e.g. from without core econometrics, to having it now. and they now increase restriction in course selection too.

P.S.3 HKU MEcon = water?? not necessarily. take all the theory class, theory track.....it can be also a good academic program. just normally seldom will do it.
