<p>@DYHAHA Well HKUST is generally a pretty competitive university especially the business school. From what I know marketing and management are usually the less competitive majors. But, the way it works in HK Business schools is that all students have to take a variety of courses in their first year (including accounting, finance, marketing, information systems, econ, management and operations management). Based on this, you pick your majors at the end of your first year.</p>
<p>thanks a lot chinu19! all
the best for yr final semester! ^^</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. Does that mean HKU is business courses are less competitive than HKUST?</p>
<p>@DYHAHA HKU is equally competitive if not more. HKUST has a larger international student body though.</p>
<p>@chinu19 okay cheers :)</p>
<p>Both HKU and HKUST have requirements for respective international qualifications.
Are those requirements misleading? i.e. Is meeting the requirements means a guarantee admission?</p>
<p>@DYHAHA No meeting requirements does not guarantee admission. Your admission is relative to the actual/predicted scores of other applicants. The general trend is that it is getting more and more competitive to get admitted.</p>
<p>@chinu19
Okay. Does your nationality matter in admission></p>
<p>@DYHAHA </p>
<p>No it doesn’t.</p>
<p>@chinu19
So how do HK universities compare international students with different qualifications?</p>
<p>@DYHAHA Well they have quotas for international applicants. I don’t know about HKU but for the HKUST Business school they reserve around 6-9% seats for international applications. They haven’t explicitly specified any quotas as to how many students they will take from the Australian pattern system or the IB, etc. So, they compare you with the whole batch of international students applying for the same program as you.</p>
<p>@chinu19
so how many students do they take for the Business school? And how many courses are there? Is it just one single degree of BBA and the people just choose their majors?</p>
<p>biz sch have different courses i.e. BBA, BBA(global biz), bsc econs&finance and bsc quantitative finance,
for bba ull choose yr major(s) aft first year for four ur prog , im not sure abt 3 yr prog ^^</p>
<p>@DYHAHA</p>
<p>You can find info about student intake here: <a href=“http://undergrad.bm.ust.hk/eng/why/publications/HKUST_BusinessSchool_Brochure_4Y(Eng).pdf[/url]”>http://undergrad.bm.ust.hk/eng/why/publications/HKUST_BusinessSchool_Brochure_4Y(Eng).pdf</a></p>
<p>The 3-year program will no longer exist starting from 2013 admissions so we can just talk about the 4-year program. </p>
<p>In Year 1 you do some business core + electives and after Year 1 you can choose to major in (Bsc Quantitative finance, BBA Global Business, Bsc ECOF, or BBA)</p>
<p>If you choose to go with BBA. You pick your major after Year 2.</p>
<p>Choices for BBA Majors are:
Accounting
Econ
Finance
Marketing
Management
OM
IS</p>
<p>Most BBA students choose a double major. You can also choose to minor in Humanities, social science, china studies, liberal studies, maths and some more options I think.</p>
