But it is difficult to evaluate professors, and most teachers stop when they arrive at full professors. In terms of salary, considering the cost of living in Hong Kong, the attractiveness of the University of Hong Kong is a bit difficult to compare with the top universities in the Mainland. On the basis of the above salary, ordinary universities will also issue a fixed bonus of 15% of the annual salary, some universities will issue it once a year, and some universities will issue it once every three years.
The income of university professors is related to disciplines.
Of course, the income of university professors has a lot to do with the subject, and it also depends on the annual market. Science and engineering are relatively low. In recent years, the artificial intelligence of data science is relatively hot, and the salary will be higher than that of general science and engineering (at least 10-20%). Professors in business schools will be higher, not to mention law schools. Nor those who are unrepresentative or have senior administrative positions, only ordinary professors.
In Hong Kong, in addition to the president, other university faculty members such as lecturers, assistant professors, associate professors, professors and a few lecture professors also earn a lot of money. In the global environment and facing the competition from international universities, the University of Hong Kong has been constantly reforming the salary system and raising the salary standard in order to attract and retain more outstanding talents. According to a document issued by the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 2008, professors in public universities earn HK$ 80,000 a month, and housing, medical care, signing fees and children's education are paid separately.
