Offer比较之HKUST vs. McGill (Finance PhD)

Franciss

想做asset pricing，想place到海外。HKUST以前很牛，但是似乎最近老师流失严重，比如Sudipto Dasgupta、John Wei、Mark Seasholes都走了。类似地，McGill也是，Peter Christoffersen去Toronto了。

So any suggestions?

楼主可以找HKUST的 Zhang Chu

Hi Louzhu,

McGill is a very good university in Canada, very good research atmosphere and study environment. Also, as you probably know, McGill PhD program is in collaboration with other three universities in Montreal, therefore you can take course, do research with any professors in all four universities. You will build very strong academic connection, at least in Canada. In additoon, you can immigrate to Canada very easy. In fact, you can appy for PR 6 months before you PHD graduation in Quebec, and it is almost 100% sure you will get it.   I suggest that you take McGill offer if your want to work in North America eventually.

However, the only downside is French. Although most people can speak English, it would be hard to integrate with the local community  if you don't speak a word of French. But you will be staying here for 4 years at least, so I am sure you can manage to learn French! And you would face the same problem in HK as well if you dont speak Cantonese.
Good luck!

多谢指点！港科大就是去年有个Gatech，前几年有个Fordham，其他的还是去欧洲或者留亚洲的多一些。 ...

嗯...看placement个人建议还是要看中国人- -

听一个在mcgill的学姐说她们项目虽然没有多少大牛但是整个项目的氛围很不错老师愿意带学生，这点其实对phd很重要的，而且我感觉他们的placement已经算不错了，毕竟现在finance的market很严峻。香港我印象中place到北美来比较困难？听说有一些会先到欧洲待几年再转到美国。不过都是听说的消息哈也不知道准不准确，我投mcgill一票哈哈哈。
