英國宜家都有好多Postgraduate conversion course. 香港都有D. Conversion postgraduate 的水平跟本科應該 ...

不知道 Conversion masters 可考專業試攞牌嗎？

Conversion means different things for different disciplines. What Cow refers to are actually accelerated programs with graduate entry. Cambridge also has a two-year accelerated LLB program for very capable graduates. For the legal profession in Hong Kong, conversion usually refers to the conversion exams legal graduates from other countries have to take to qualify for applying for the PCLL course in Hong Kong. As Cow indicates, it takes at least 3-year part-time study to obtain a LLB in Hong Kong for graduates in other disciplines. However, this is only the easy part of the battle. To qualify as a barrister or a solicitor in Hong Kong, LLB graduates have to take the one-year PCLL which is offered by HKU, CU or City U. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get into these programs, unlike in the old days. The number of students getting into PCLL through the part-time progam are only handful and limited to HKU (associated with SPACE). The nornal route for non-law graduates is still to follow the JD program and try to beat half of your class which contains mostly extremely capable graduates from around the world.

There are also accelerated programs in medicine and pharmacy in the UK but the length is much longer than 12 months.

But in the US, now you basically have to have a master degree to get into any profession.

回到正題
邱成桐在學界協助攪了恒隆數學獎，推動創意研究數學難題已經多年，但其普及性遠不及奧數。其實， ...

奧數不能培養數學家這話，我應該相信丘成桐教授。但在香港讀(玩) 奧數的大部分人，我估計他們讀(玩)的目的不一定是要做數學家。丘教授也說奧數能幫助學生提高數學興趣，這其實已經發揮出作用了。

我在想，沒什麼可以比學生自己感興趣而自發學習更來得有效的了。如果奧數能提高學習興趣，它不就是應該被推廣，而且也是它成功的原因之一嗎？

當然也有本來對數學沒興趣，但又被虎媽放在不適當level而被摧委的一群。個工具本身可能沒有問題,有問題的是利用工具的人!

习惯,喜好, 饮食, 全部可以被同化的.  问题在于阿妈阿爸一D都唔化, 就系甘逼你去被感化, 才是悲情世界!!

唔願郁既細路通常有双唔願郁的父母, 大家唔願郁无问题, 何解要接受你唔使郁,我就要搏命運動.

丘教授談及的奧數不是你說的那些，有興趣可以到 IMO 的 official site 看看。
