Some students may ask, how many students from the United States and Britain are studying in China? Can you compare it horizontally? Judging from the total number of international students, there were about 360,000 China students studying in the United States in 2065, and 95,000 students studying in Britain in the same year. From the data alone, it seems that Hong Kong is not so popular as a destination for postgraduate study. In fact, there are three points to consider in Hong Kong's data:
The first is the proportion of data. Due to the educational systems in Hong Kong and the Mainland, the vast majority of mainland students studying in Hong Kong are graduate students, with only about10.5 million undergraduates, and even less non-higher education students. The data of Britain and the United States include all school-age stages, among which primary schools, middle schools and undergraduate courses account for about 40% of the total number. So the number of graduate students only accounts for about 60%.
The second is the carrying capacity of education. There are more than 5,700 universities in the United States and about 150 in Britain. However, there are only eight public institutions of higher learning in Hong Kong. Therefore, the total number of people who go to Hong Kong for graduate studies is not because people don't want to go or Hong Kong is unpopular, but because Hong Kong's ability to accept international students is limited. Every year, 10000 mainland students are assigned to eight schools on average, which is equivalent to each school accepting 1250 students every year. This is basically consistent with the average number of China students admitted to British universities (Cambridge University admitted 420 China undergraduates and 754 China postgraduates in the 20 17-20 18 academic year). In short, it's not that people don't want to go, but that Hong Kong can't accept so many international students.
The third is the difficulty of admission. As mentioned above, there are only eight public universities in Hong Kong, four of which rank among the top in the world 100 and the fifth Hong Kong Polytechnic University ranks among the top in the world 106. In other words, 62.5% of the universities in Hong Kong are among the top universities in the world 1 10. Among the mainstream study destinations, this ratio is the highest. This has also created a new problem: the overall admission of Hong Kong institutions is very difficult, and there are almost no guaranteed schools. Therefore, students with poor academic performance in some undergraduate colleges usually do not consider submitting applications in Hong Kong. /zd/lx
