CUHK and HKUST

michaelk

Hello,


Good luck for all CUHK interviewees. As a HK local, I am now doing MBA in HKUST and I got my first business master in International Business in CUHK. I think the teachers of CUHK pay more attention to the students. As for HKUST, it is only a "research" school. Most teachers pay attention to their research but not teaching.

Michael,i should agree that 中文更加人性化。

no, i think CU and UST are both pretty good school, just like PKU and Tsinghua.     hard to say which is better.


    


BTW, Michael, do you think the study-load of UST is heavier than that of CU?

michaelk

I think the workload of HKUST is much higher. I even do not have time to accompany my girlfriend. I do not know why we have so high workload.

michaelk: The workload of CUHK MBA is also very heavy o

michaelk:


how do you think about the placement of two schools? Espacilly a guy from mainland want a postion in banks of HK.

yhyz,


Sorry for late reply. As for banking, I am afraid that most HK banks like to find HK locals because we are familiar with the environment. HKUST finance is stronger than that of CUHK. But as for job hunting, many classmates having experience in banking in Mainland China are still waiting and waiting .............

Michael，


Thanks. How about i banking? I mean for mainlanders? I heard we MBA can get around 20-30k per month(average)


Y HK's economy is so weak now. The hengsheng index is climbing .(about13000)

Usdusaj,


Yes, the salary is very high. Someone even can get HK$30-50K per month. However,    I am afraid that it is very very difficult for the Mainlanders to get jobs in investment banks. Until now, I do not know which HKUST mainland MBA 2004 graduates    can get jobs in investment banks. Reasons: investment banks prefer people who are educated in HK or America because they are familiar with environment. Second, language. As you know, some mainlanders can get full mark in listening in TOEFL but they cannot express their ideas verbally in interviews!
