How about "global" business? I don't know whether you mean start your own global business or overseas recruitment.  But please don't overestimate the value of the brand names of our local institutions as compared with the Ivy League, LSE, etc.  There is still a long way to go.  Nevertheless the success of HKUST Business School is due to the combined efforts of many people especially Prof Paul Chu and has also been benefited from the rapid growth of China's domestic economy.

"choice" is either a noun or adjective. You should use "choose" instead.  HKU, HKUST, CUHK are very good universities. You should have no regrets for time spent studying over there.

I would say HKUST and CUHK are the best and I prefer HKUST.
HKUST: higher ranking in business related subjects
CUHK: was the best in providing business subjects but seems to be taken over by HKUST
HKU: not so good in business subjects

CUHK Global Business Studies is a structured and internationally-oriented program jointly developed by three top-ranked business schools. Students from the three schools will study together as one cohort on three continents. They will spend one term in Denmark, one summer in Hong Kong and one term in US.

妳哋好捧場喎，多謝！較多香港人會去讀UBC, UT，不過我覺得McGill 不但質素更高，而且校園有些Gothic建築幾特別，讀書環境一流。

Here is my two cents.

You don't need a degree in quantitative finance to get into an investment bank. The best route is still via a degree from a prestigious university in the US or UK. It does not matter what you study.

The quantitive finance programs you find in Hong Kong cannot be found at most well known universities elsewhere at undergraduate leve. For example, LSE only offers general accounting and finance programs. Same at the ivy league universities.

The programs in Hong Kong are very mathematical and intended for people who really like maths.

HKUST and CUHK are about the same in terms of difficulty to get into. HKU is still easier probably because the program is still new or because the general perception is that HKU's business programs still lag behind the other two. CUHK has a joint degree program of quantitative finance and risk managemnt science. It is even more difficult to get into.

Thanks for your inputs and aligned with what we heard from old boys in my son's school last Saturday.

One old boy graduated from LSE in Accounting and Finance, working in investment bank, he shared with us that he recommended my son not to take specific program, try something more interesting. In his team (he is the team head), only he has relevant degree, others are from various background, like law, engineering, music and history.

I will not distinguish between general and specialised degrees; just go for the course your kid likes most.

Agreed.

He likes LSE over local university and prefer Economics. He was in ICL for summer program and visited Barclays Capital before. Everytime, his choice always surprises us.

Some guidance to those considering a career in the investment banking industries:

Recruitment - mainstream banking positions applications have demand for trained specialists with additional qualifications such as in law, accountancy or from a Business School. Relationships within investment banks and with their clients are essentially direct and personal. For this reason the personality of the candidate is of great importance. Imagination, application and readiness to adapt are important aptitudes. Fluency in foreign languages

Minimum entry requirements - upper second class honours degree or a professional qualification in law or accounting. There is no particular preference for any specific degree subject, although a numerate discipline or subject such as economics, law or business studies can prove to be particularly useful. Career advancement of the graduates will depend on their performance, the potential they show and the results they deliver.

The above echoes what you heard from the old boys in your son's school last Sat.

But MBA ranking still not match with undergraduate in Global Business.
