What are the specialties of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology?

As a dark horse in education, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has been established for a short time, but its ranking has been rising in recent years, and it is ranked first in THE ranking of the world's young universities in 218!

(Even the super-famous Nanyang Technological University in China can only be ranked third)?

most of the students in front answered from the perspective of professional ranking. I will talk about two famous MSc projects of HKUST from the real study experience of friends around me: big data technology and economics.

1. Big Data Technology

My friend is a CS major, because the direction of big data has been particularly hot in recent years, and he also caught the last bus before the fire (2333

The courses of this major include data analysis foundation, data mining, big data calculation, financial time series, machine learning, statistical prediction, etc., covering not only data, finance, but also. A friend said that when studying, the professor would teach them to write programs to automatically select stocks and invest, which can be said to be very practical.

after graduation, everyone's destination is also very good (very high salary). You can choose investment banking, consulting or IT-related jobs. ?

2. Economics

The economics department of HKUST is located in the business school, while the economics departments of other overseas universities are generally located in the social science school. On the one hand, students in the program can make use of many excellent resources of the business school to study and find internships or jobs. On the other hand, the overall project is research-oriented, which is also for continuing to study for PHD. The project aims to provide students with more in-depth knowledge of economic theory, cultivate students' ability of quantitative economic analysis, and make full preparations for their further study in economics, finance, marketing, management and other related fields. This is a good choice for people who want to study PhD, and students can take PhD courses to improve their academic ability.

in the study module, last semester was a compulsory course, macro and micro and econometrics; All the courses in the next semester are optional, with a wide range of courses. Students can take other MBA and other professional courses in business school according to their own needs. The difficulty of the process mainly lies in a large number of formula derivation, which may be a bit challenging for students with weak mathematical foundation. Generally speaking, the curriculum is rich and flexible internally, which is very suitable for the individualized development of students.

My friend finally got a job in China Development Bank, and her classmates chose to continue their studies. Otawa, who is looking for a job, also has a better place to go.

I hope the above information is helpful to you ~
