Similarities:
1. The postgraduate education system is one year. Whether in Hong Kong or Britain, the academic system of graduate students is 12 months for a whole year, starting in September every year. A few majors in Britain also start classes at 1.
Teaching in English may be because Hong Kong was once a British colony, and teaching in Hong Kong has always been in English, which is one of the reasons why universities in Hong Kong have always been favored.
3. High gold content and high recognition. There are more than 120 universities in Britain, and Hong Kong is referred to as the "eight big ports" for short. Whether in Britain or Hong Kong, the gold content of a master's degree is universally recognized.
Difference:
1. The English atmosphere is different. Although English is also taught in Hong Kong, after all, in China, life except study is in Chinese or Cantonese, which has a certain impact on the improvement of English.
2. Treat students studying in Hong Kong differently. International students will not have proof of returning to China, and they will not enjoy the treatment of international students, such as tax-free car purchase, preferential treatment for settling in Beijing and Shanghai, and so on. But if you don't consider these aspects, you don't have to struggle.
3. The cost is different. According to the average normal consumption, the annual tuition and living expenses (food, clothing, housing and transportation) in Britain are about 250,000-300,000, while those in Hong Kong are about150,000-200,000. If you choose a part-time job in the second half of the semester, that's another matter. Take me for example. I went to Leicester, England in September, and started my part-time job in June 5438+the following year 10. I graduated in September of the following year, and all the expenses were less than 200,000 yuan. After submitting my graduation thesis in September, I chose to travel around Europe with my classmates.
