【 Why CUHK-Tsinghua University Dual Undergraduate Degree Programme in Economics? 】

I chose the CUHK-Tsinghua University Dual Undergraduate Degree Programme in Economics because I have always had an interest in economics and understanding how the world works. Economics studies people, their choices, and how these choices impact other outcomes, all which I find very interesting as this happens in everyday life. I felt that this programme not only allows me to study that inside the classroom, but outside as well by giving me the chance to live in two major cities and economic hubs. I do not only get to study at two very prestigious universities, but I have the opportunity to explore and learn about two vastly different but equally interesting cities and make good friends in both of them.

After graduation I plan on studying a postgraduate degree, possibly more towards finance or business and getting a job involving investment banking and analysis.
