Master of Economics（经济学硕士）
Master of Economics Information Session for 2014-15
November 20, 2013 / December 2, 2013
Programme Mission
The HKU Master of Economics (MEcon) Programme aims at providing rigorous advanced training in economics with emphasis on real world applications.
The programme usually has its recruitment exercise from November to January every year.
Programme Details
Our curriculum is designed to help students master economic analysis, use it creatively to find solutions to problems, and develop confidence in analysing issues and answering questions relevant to their work.
Flexibility is a key character of the programme-students have a number of elective courses to choose from, and courses of varying blends of abstraction and applicability are available. In addition to courses offered by the MEcon Programme, students may also choose elective courses in the HKU Master of Finance (MFin) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) Programmes which are also offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE), subject to availability and approval of the Programme Director.
Who Should Apply
The MEcon Programme is most suitable for three types of students: those who have some economics training and consider starting a career as a professional economist; those who want to acquire advanced economics knowledge that is useful for them in the workplace; and those who simply wish to gain a systemic tool kit to understand the economic problems around us.
Although an undergraduate degree in economics or related disciplines is not a pre-requisite, applicants should have good quantitative skills/possess knowledge of first-year college calculus.
Meeting Venue and Time
Meeting Venue: HKU Main campus on Pokfulam Road, Cyberport campus or Admiralty Town Centre.
Meeting Time: Weekday mornings/afternoons, or weekday evenings from 6:45pm to 9:45pm, or Saturday mornings/afternoons.

The curriculum shall extend over a minimum of one academic year and a maximum of two academic years for full-time study, or a minimum of two academic years and a maximum of four academic years for part-time study. Full-time students at normal progress shall finish the programme in one academic year while part-time students shall do so in two academic years.
