Zhu has been studying in Hong Kong for two years. I have a lot of feelings after studying at HKU in the past two years. What will it be like to study undergraduate in Hong Kong? Below, I will talk about it for the students, hoping to help you understand the life of studying in Hong Kong.
The life of studying in Hong Kong and studying at the University of Hong Kong at first is completely strange to Zhu. Zhu, who is now an undergraduate in Hong Kong, has adapted to it. He can also comment on the situation of studying at HKU:
Course arrangement
At HKU? Class? The concept no longer exists, even the students in a dormitory come from different majors.
Compared with mainland universities, universities in Hong Kong have more freedom in choosing courses. Everyone can arrange at most two majors and one minor, or one major and two minor, as long as they meet the credit requirements before graduation. Like amber? Comparative literature? Major in Chinese and minor in Spanish.
The school enrolls students according to the major categories of arts, science, engineering, business and medicine, so when freshmen first entered school, each student did not have a clearly subdivided major. Students can choose their favorite courses in a wide range and decide to minor in their sophomore year. For example, Amber's College of Literature has Chinese, political science, comparative literature, sociology, minority languages and British and American cultural studies. Of course, you should also predict your future major and minor courses when choosing courses, otherwise insufficient credits may affect the progress of graduation in the future.
Students in HKU College of Literature can only take up to six courses per semester, which seems to be a far cry from mainland universities taking up to a dozen courses per week, but in fact, college students in Hong Kong are not free.
For students who pay attention to grade points, the learning task is actually heavier. Take Amber's course as an example. Although her major and minor courses add up to only five courses this semester, each course has a 1 hour discussion class hosted by a tutor (similar to a domestic teaching assistant) in addition to the two-hour theoretical class taught by the professor every week. In addition, there are related reading materials for each course. Teachers majoring in comparative literature usually choose a series of articles and send them to a printing factory that cooperates with the school for printing and binding.
In the discussion class, students need to discuss the content of the theory class and the reading list, and the performance of the discussion is included in the usual grades. Therefore, while listening carefully to the theoretical class, we should not slacken our reading of the bibliography, and we should be prepared before the discussion class, so the learning task is actually heavier than that in China.
Learning atmosphere
Although the choice of each student in HKU is a lot of yuan, Amber admits this. Most mainland students will still pay more attention to their GPA. ? Most mainland students are often deified in the eyes of Hong Kong local students. Xueba? The image of.
Club activities
In HKU, school groups are called. Zhuang? Joining a club is called. Shangzhuang? .
Where's amber? Youth Literature Award Association? ,? In the village? There are nine people, seven of whom are Hong Kong students and two are mainland students. In the usual communication, she found that there are many differences in concept and culture between the two places. Like where does Amber think she is? Zhuang? As a literary society, we should pay more attention to literariness and academics when selecting students to contribute. But students in Hong Kong prefer colloquial and lively articles, and they hope more readers can understand them.
However, she also feels that she has really learned a lot from Hong Kong students in organizing activities, such as winning sponsorship and foreign exchanges. Their maturity and professionalism have benefited her a lot.
What's the name of HKU's dormitory? Hall? Each library is managed by a Committee organized by students, and there will be various types of activity clubs under the library. For many local students in Hong Kong who don't pay much attention to grade points, these club activities are a good opportunity to improve their social and activity organization ability, but for most mainland students who want to concentrate on their studies, club activities actually occupy a large part of their study time.
The dormitory has a kitchen, so you can buy food and cook by yourself, which can save a lot of money than eating out.
Graduation choice
Unlike many mainland students majoring in economics and finance, Amber does not intend to stay in Hong Kong for employment after graduation. Although the media industry in Hong Kong is relatively developed, and Amber herself wants to engage in the media industry after graduation, she feels that the cultural media in Hong Kong is not very developed. I prefer to be a literary academic? .
I hope the above information about studying in Hong Kong can help students learn more about studying in Hong Kong University. Please pay more attention to the application for studying in Hong Kong. Generally speaking, studying in Hong Kong is still very good, and it is worth students' efforts.
