The series of courses on anthropology and Chinese society left a deep impression on me, enabling me to have a deeper and comprehensive understanding of Chinese society and its structure and laws. The courses on quantitative research are also interesting.

Awardee, Best Student Paper Award, International Chinese Sociological Association, 2021

The year I spend at HKUST is definitely the most regretless year in the past of my life. I’m currently Ph.D. student majoring in Economics at USC. Personally, MGCS is like a ladder assisting me reach my goal. With broadness of course topics, you are not only able to intensively equip yourself with important knowledge, but also get a chance to find where your true passion is. With distinctive professors who care about improvement of students sincerely, you can see a rapid upgrade of ability in fields you put effort in. With high reputation of both the university and the department, you will find you are exposed to a new world full of opportunities. My suggestion is: fully utilize resources that MGCS brings to you, and finally you will make an achievement even beyond your best expectation.
