请教：Ucl econ vs ust qfin

sheenaho

收到两间的offer. 应如何比较？最大问题是小儿只有方向性的兴趣，但对将来从事哪行仍未有清晰目标。我自己对外国大字所知什少，故希望在此能得到些意见和分析。先谢过。

Is finance an issue?  Studying abroad can broaden your son's horizon.  Moreover, there will be some advantage in applying for MNCs upon graduation.

Definitely UCL Econ. My daughter has received offers from both and she chose to go to UK.

Are your son studying F6 and preparing for DSE? Why can HKUST give you offer?
HKUST qfin is better than UCL Econ in terms of subject learning. But as stated above, experience abroad is very valuable. If you study at HKUST, you can also apply for exchange abroad for a year.

For MNC, UCL and UST are good enough with 1st or 2:1 class of honour.

Studying aboard is an enjoyable experience if finance not an issue.

Thx for advice given by all of u.
I hv one doubt. Is the ranking of ucl  Economics justify the amt of investment I spent? Or should I view it frm another perspective?

How about Economics of Warwick Uni? It's ranking is even higher than ucl.

My two cents.

1. It's conditional offers, take it and wait for final results. I guess the offer of UCL may be lower than UST, take it as safety net.

2. Go aboard or stay local is very subjective, discuss with you kid and make the final shot.

3. Ranking is not as important as you think, 4 years ago , UCL is higher than Warwick in Econ ranking. Oxbridge, LSE are top top, Warwick and UCL is another level, they are very close.

4. The living standard is another consideration.

It is easier to get a First Class Honors degree (or even a 2:1) at UCL than HKUST.

May I  have your opinion about International Relation in LSE?  It is a myth to me that both US and European have held it  in high regard.   Also, some Amercian students prefers Liberal Art Colleges over Ivies, LAC , like Williams , Middlebury and Pomona , are assumed as undergradute feeder schools to top graduate programs such as Med and Law.    It is interesting to see debatable comments in various continents.    Thank you.

LSE is ranked the 3rd in the global universities on the subject "Politics and International Studies" by QS on 22 March 2016

Stootstar shared QS ranking with you and I shared one more in UK for 2015-2016

In UK, some very top students will aim at Oxford's PPE instead of International Relationship. Many Prime Ministers of UK are graduated from PPE.

For another question related to US system, I am not familiar with the US system and not in a position to comment.

If someone can get in Ivy, why go for LA college first and then take a graduate school in Ivy ???

QS ranking 系有偏幫英國的大學。不過，LSE 都系 top tier 的大學。 LSE 系英國最頂尖的美式大學，符合現時世界學術主流。
牛劍的PPP 系百多年傳統最top 的學系，專出領袖，最勁文科學生的首選。

美國好多文理學院的本科課程比top tier u 的更好，小班教學，師生關係好，頂級的文理學院難入過好多top ten U.  Hilary Clinton, 宋美齡出身的 Wellesley College 就系專培養美國上流社會的女子。系美國，讀Williams College, Wellesley College 等頂級文理學院，絕對唔失禮過你讀哈佛、耶魯。
