我个人认为金融业还是很看学历的，英国TOP5，美国TOP50，香港TOP3，新加坡top2，只要是到了一个层次的学校 ...

1000% agree......school name way more important than the subject for general finance role
what I mean is not suggesting OP to satisfying with CityU or PolyU, (indeed the other way round: don't go to non target level)
but just mean CityU and PolyU as a backup plan of HKU/CUHK/HKUST makes most sense than using some non G5 uni as backup of G5 in UK.

of course, a better back up plan is to go to a non Finance, but finance related program (e.g. econ, management, accounting, stat and etc...) in "英国TOP5，美国TOP50，香港TOP3，新加坡top2".

關鍵的問題是, is Edinburgh top enough to push the student to those companies for internship/job? ...

Yes,Edinburgh provide this Chance and Possibility, but Hong Kong will never never provide this chance, even in HKUST, especially after Snowden matter on Hong Kong.

I guess he/she will be interested in some historical placement or more evidence for supporting, instead of just saying yes because Edinburgh is in UK....and if getting a working visa is difficult for IT in UK.

of course I am not interested this, but these are the questions following naturally.

Simply because Edinburgh is in UK, and UK has quite good IT recruitment is not enough from making decision I guess. This possibility has to be reasonable large, since 0.01% won't make a big difference with 0%....

I am not saying you are wrong.......but just pointing out something seems to be missing in this analysis.

Yes understand mean。
就我对于香港金融圈的理解，如果任何人想在香港金融领域成功，那就Never Never ever go to non target school，只有Target School的学历才能让楼主拿到一个满意敲门砖。
有申请CityU or PolyU的时间，不如去考虑NUS，NYU，哥大之类的大学。

As far as I know.......this logic holds quite well also in UK and US..........maybe indeed over the world.
what is different is only the list of target universities......(e.g. London will has a couple of EU school but without the APAC one, while HK/SG will be the another way round.)

Edinburgh is not 0.01%.........
I mean there are much more international top IT company in UK than your imagination.
And the chance is much much more than HK as I know.
So in fact, if OP work hard enough, it should be 100%, as Chinese IT graduate in UK can still find jobs in London.

But CityU and PolyU are not target shool in Top Finance Company, even in HK.
So that is why I suggest to consider NUS， or NYU， which really provide much much more advantage than CityU or PolyU。

(second part)
I don't think this logic makes sense, unless it is easier to enter NUS, NYU, than HKU/CUHK/HKUST....

It seems to me that HKU/CUHK/HKUST is a backup for NYU/Columbia/whatever top US/UK university (NUS is around same level as these three), and thus when advising something instead of HKU/CUHK/HKUST, one need something that is easier to enter than these three, instead of more difficult.

This is Labor Market Report from UK:
https://www.gov.uk/government/pu ... -and-by-nationality
And Information and Communication means 信息通讯产业。

Around half of them is IT-Related jobs worker, not mention some of them belong to the second category.
The UK wants more CS and IT worker, and it is a current fact.

And so it is not 0.01%, but quite high chance to be working as IT guy in UK.

OP is qualified enough for these schools.
And he can try more schools to avoid very extreme competitions in some school.
And if he apply enough numbers of top schools, he can get a chance to come in, because OP is already good enough to go to target school.
He only need to be well prepared, and try enough target schools.
Not need consider PolyU or CityU as backup, for it really downgrade OP career entrance.

I think the whole western world (from US, canada,  to uk or europe) wants more IT worker…
The remaining problem now is....is edinburgh good enough for this?
I will guess yes,  but if i am the one who will go for it,  i will want more info about the uni ---> industry specifically before gping,

Agree to this one
其實就算profile 不夠穩進target 也當如此…

Getting into some other related master and field will be a better second plan

从来没听说过去英国留学的然后边上学边实习的，毕业后在那边工作也很难，因为没有签证。

從大學看，HKUST比愛丁堡不知道高到哪裡去了。何況英國是留不下來工作的，香港卻很容易留。
