Re: Hong Kong Universityeconomics. I also love chinese culture so I think it would be good for overloading on that.(Original post by Curly_hair_girl)
Hong Kong is number 1 in Asia about 25 in the world. It is a great university, study there for a semester. It depends what you are doing though. -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityAwesome university is awesome
Not only is the uni internationally renown, but the location is as epic as it gets tbh.
It will be a huge culture shock though, depends how you like that sort of stuff.
Well done for getting in anyway

Re: Hong Kong UniversityDoes HKUST do economics?(Original post by rhinger)
As a city, Hong Kong trumps London by miles.
HKU is not Hong Kong's best university anymore, it's HKUST. It's still very prestigious though. -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityI'm glad you said that. My parents think otherwise(Original post by rhinger)
Personally, HKU. HKUST may be the best university in Hong Kong (rated recently) but I don't think it's got the universal reputation that HKU does. Hong Kong will also be a very different place to live in, albeit in a good way, it's a solid city.
I think it also MAY be quite a positive surprise to employers to know that you studied at HKU rather than the usual British university. -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityI'm completely unconcerned by china's human rights record. I know many people in Hong Kong who live lives just as free as people in the west(Original post by LysFromParis)

Re: Hong Kong UniversityYou are such an ignorant douche - google HK's political and legal system, plus the acronym SAR.(Original post by wildrover)

I'm applying to HKU if I fail to get into Notts this year. Great university, great city (or mini country), it has a Disneyland, shopping. Going to HK this summer as well! -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityEvery course at HKU teaches in English. They make a big deal of the English part.(Original post by TheMJCG)
Its an amazing university internationally but depends on what coarse you are doing, some courses require Cantonese. -

Re: Hong Kong UniversityAs someone from Hong Kong, let me say a few words! Hong Kong is a fantastic city enjoying absolute freedom as it is a Special Administrative Region. HKU has the oldest history and is considered the best and most reputable university in HK. HKUST is pretty new but has built up a very good reputation and has now become the No.1 uni in Asia. Although its name is Science and Technology, the most renowned department is Business School.
