Are art or science degrees from the top universities not preferred? Oxbridge do not offer many professional degrees. Most are academic/theoretical degrees and train students to be future researchers. That's why they produce so many Nobel prize winners. If parents target "professional" degrees, Oxbridge or Ivy League may not be their cup of tea.

Yes, exactly what I wanted to say.
At my time (many years ago), professional degrees were preferred. Science subjects at HKCE and A level were also very preferred. My hubby and I graduated with professional degrees.

In recent years, perhaps influenced by CIS administration, and philosophy of US top universities including Ivy Leagues, we started to think if a broad based liberal arts education is a better choice at undergraduate level. Or, as Oxbridge prospectus always emphasizes, their courses are mostly "academic" in nature, rather than "vocational" based, maybe except medicine or law.

In an Oxbridge prospectus, it states that "for example, a degree in Journalism is not a requirement to become a journalist. A degree in History, Politics, English or another subject might be just as useful. Likewise, to become a lawyer, students do not need to study their first degree in Law. They may take a first degree in a different subject and then take a law conversion course."

My hubby and I tend to agree with the change in education trend in recent years, that as a kid at 17 years old may not have the ability or insight to decide his/her career, a broad based general education, which trains critical and creative thinking, is more useful.

I think it is not the recent trend . It always works in US and UK but we, Hk ppl always correlate the subjects we take in Uni to our careers. I have many friends coming from US top uni. They either graduated from arts or science. One holds  a history degree with Princeton may work in hedge fund then found out that's not his cup of tea. He then turns to become a author.

Shouldn't the choice of majors be the student's decision, but not his/her parents'?   

The good thing about getting the undergraduate degree in US versus doing so in HK is the extra 4 years to mature and decide if one would like to pursue graduate studies in medicine, law or other professional studies.  In HK you have to choose right away and then you are stuck...

So does it mean the American curriculum is in between local curriculum and IB curriculum in terms of "degree of freedom", at least for the early years (i.e. kindergarten through primary)?

Thanks for the list of Nobel Laureates. So, mainly US, UK and German universities. Very very few Asian universities.

The choice of major in university of course should be decided by students.  When the students cannot decide or have not decided what to study in universities, the son's school always suggests them to go for a liberal arts education in US. When my hubby was in US university, he looked down upon students graduating with a liberal arts degree (non-professional & without a major). So when the school mentioned the advantages of liberal arts education, my hubby didn't agree at first. But after some thoughts, he accepts that deferring the choice of major until junior year in US universities is a good concept. And gradually we buy in the idea of the broad based non-professional undergraduate education.
