Hi all,

I am thinking of going to any of the following 3 universities as a fee-paying/study-abroad student for fall 2012.

1. Chinese University of Hong Kong
2. City University of Hong Kong
3. Tsinghua University

I am currently enrolled in NTU's Accountancy.

There are conflicting information on the ranking of these universities and should I rely on the overall or the business school ranking?

Is there a difference between going for an education in HK as compared to China?

Are there any difference between the 3 universities (in terms of environment, classmates, course matching etc)?

CUHK and Tsinghua seem to have lesser courses as compared to City Uni. City Uni offers interesting courses like forensic science etc.

Is there any way that I can obtain the courses offered for Fall 2012? I can only find the planned course offering for CUHK but not for City Uni and Tsinghua.

Weighing the cost, tsinghua is relatively cheaper than CUHK and City Uni.

Thanks for your help! )

Hi KayZer,

Thanks a lot for your advice! )

Yes, it is something like an exchange programme to go overseas for a semester.

I will be heading to CUHK for summer programme in June 2012.

I heard that there are courses taught in english for both CUHK and Tsinghua

Then again, these courses are limited. Haiz!

Is it something like an exchange program? If so, I believe you should pick one that you would enjoy exploring. I think Tsinghua and CUHK are both highly regarded but not City Uni. Why limit yourself to only these 3 universities? Also, check on the medium of instruction for Tsinghua. Not sure whether they are still using mandarin which I doubt so.

Your decision between Tsinghua and CUHK would probably be based on your proficiency in Mandarin and Cantonese. Pick the uni based on the language which you are more comfortable with.
