纠结选校。。。UCL vs CASS vs CUHK

zhsbzhouyd

申请也告一段落了，虽然有几个学校结果没出，但是感觉大局已定。有如下几个选择：
1）UCL的MA Comparative Business Economics：据说主要研究新兴市场的经济的，UCL综排挺让人心动，不过不知道国内认可度如何。
2）CASS的MSc International Accounting and Finance：CASS商学院在金融城内，与大公司networking很多，估计锻炼的机会多，课程设置也较喜欢，但花销大，CASS国内名气一般。
3）CUHK的Master of Accountancy：跟他家的MSF一样，第一年的fulltime项目，前途未卜。CUHK貌似内地认可度挺好，在香港找实习和工作方便，回内地就业面试方便，我是广东人，文化融入较易。
非常纠结，各位牛牛从回国就业的角度帮我看看哦。

If you prefer to go to the big4, then may be CUHK is better since it is widely known and your campus life will be more intensive.

However, it is said that some companies in HK prefer employees with international background and students from UK will be more competitive.

不倒翁要杀鸡

4大不需要international experience吧...但是要求名校...建议LZ考会计证~

UCL and CASS are much better than CUHK. Attending top schools, people cluster with smart people and become smarter.

In Hong Kong, top employers look for people with international experience.

There is one banker at JP Morgan who held a talk in HKU, saying that they recruit people study in the UK and US because they follow markets, but people in HKU or CUHK or HKUST only follow Facebook newsfeed.

But I really doubt whether UCL and CASS are considered as top schools in chinese job markets......You know, UCL and CASS to some extent can not compete with Oxbridge, LSE, IC and even WBS......Therefore if the brand names of UCL and CASS are not strong enough to be the targets for most top employers in China, why not choose CUHK which is more cost-effective?

Besides, after I compared the chinese students who have admitted into those three programmes(not in the school level), I think the chinese students who apply for Macc in CUHK has a better profile than those in the other two programmes.  

On the other hand, I do not expect to join IBDs or some top employers and I think it is not realistic for me to think about it.  Because I have no IBD internships before and my undergraduate university is not the top school in china.... After I graduate, I only want to initiate my career in one of the Big 4 accounting firms.....Do you think I still need to go to UK?

What do you think about it? .......It's hard for me to make a decision.....

You had made the decision because you tend to CUHK much more according to your analysis.
On my own,I prefer CUHK as well,because on my observation, UCL and CASS are not recognized as top schools,and they are not a competitive school to stay in UK too.CUHK will give you more chances to build up your network in local job markets.
So, I vote for CUHK.
