【 Why CUHK-Tsinghua University Dual Undergraduate Degree Programme in Economics? 】
I chose to study in the CUHK-Tsinghua University Dual Undergraduate Degree Programme in Economics because I believe that societal development is inseparable with economic activities. At the meantime, the two universities can provide unique resources and perspectives for us to achieve our learning goals. Firstly, each being one of the most prestigious universities in their regions, Tsinghua University and CUHK provide an excellent platform particularly for those who will potentially work in Mainland or Hong Kong. During the course of four years, students can acquire internship experience in both Beijing and Hong Kong which helps students pave career paths in both places. Secondly, this programme allows us to compare and contrast two very similar yet different cultures, which facilitates us to better understand how economy functions differently in various places, cultures, and circumstances. Lastly, having lived in both Beijing and Hong Kong, I have very deep connections with both cities, so I am very happy to continue my academic journey in the cities I love.
In the future, I wish to conduct research related to development economics that can be used for drafting more efficient economic policies.
