香港大学(The University of Hong Kong),奠基于1910年3月16日,次年3月30日正式注册成立,是香港历史最悠久的高等教育机构。
截至2017年12月,香港大学有十所学院,以英语为教学语言。它在经济、金融、会计、生物医学、牙医、教育学、人文学科、法学、语言学、政治学与社会科学等领域展现出较强的科研实力。香港大学同时也是全球第一个界定出SARS病原体的科研单位,被认为是亚洲最具名望的大学之一。同时,香港大学为Universitas 21、环太平洋大学联盟、中国大学校长联谊会成员,AACSB及EQUIS认证成员。在2018年QS世界大学排名中位列第26位,在2017THE世界国际化大学排名中位列世界第3位,亚洲第1位。
香港“大学教育资助委员会”在1997年推出了“卓越学科领域计划(The Areas of Excellence scheme)”,在全部18个领域项目中,香港大学主持了8项,并协同其他机构参与了6项;截至2013年,香港大学已完成“经济及商业策略”、“药物合成与研发”两项,从“卓越学科领域计划”中不难看出,医学、商科、信息科学都是香港大学传统且极具竞争力的学科领域;除此之外,港大的土建、法政、教育等学科亦处于世界一流行列。
The HKU Master of Economics (MEcon) Programme aims at providing rigorous advanced training in economics with emphasis on real world applications.
The MEcon Programme offered by HKU has a long history of success and is one of the highly sought-after programmes of its kind in the region. We aim to bring together advanced training in economic theories and real world applications. Building on rigorous training from the core courses of microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics, students can choose to concentrate in one of three streams, namely the Data Analysis Stream, Policy Stream and Theory Stream, according to their interests and career aspirations.
Our MEcon students also enjoy the opportunities to learn from and interact with outstanding researchers and teachers of the School of Economics and Finance, coming from a wide spectrum of background and expertise. The intellectual capacity and knowledge acquired in the MEcon Programme have made a lasting difference in the students’ academic life, equipping them with acumen in decision and policy making.
Our excellent teaching and research environment, together with the reputation of the University and the extensive alumni network of the Faculty of Business and Economics, set the MEcon Programme at HKU apart from the others. Together we hope to build a bright future for the students, the University and the society.
Our curriculum is designed to help students master economic analysis, use it creatively to find solutions to problems, and develop confidence in analysing issues and answering questions relevant to their work.
Flexibility is a key character of the programme - students have a number of elective courses to choose from, and courses of varying blends of abstraction and applicability are available. In addition to courses offered by the MEcon Programme, students may also choose elective courses from the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Finance (MFin) and Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSc(BA)) programmes under the advice and approval of the Programme Directors concerned.
经济学是一门重要的学科,它研究在相互竞争的用户之间分配稀缺资源的问题。具有较强的理论基础,同时也具有很高的应用价值。它为我们提供了一个严谨而连贯的框架,以了解个体层面的人类行为,以及通过市场环境或社会网络的相互作用的结果。这种理解对公共政策和商业决策具有重要意义,这些决策有助于社会有效地分配资源和改善公民的福利。近几十年来,随着许多国家经济的迅猛发展,社会对于具有经济学知识的人才需求量很大。
港大经济的毕业生由于接受了亚洲顶尖的学科训练,他们中的许多人已经在不同领域开始了工作,包括咨询服务、金融部门、跨国企业和公共部门。选择继续致力于学术研究的学生得益于在港大的学习,对读博的学习生活也有了充分的准备。除此之外,港大毕业生还建立了一个非常宝贵的校友网络,将校友、现在的学生和商业及学术团体联系起来。就像港大经济系主任所说的“We are proud of the success and achievements of our alumni and we strive to continue our drive in nurturing talent and leaders for the region.”
