Most of the local students (or their parents) prefer medical and healthcare related programmes. If there are no international (non local) students from China Mainland and ASEAN countries, many engineering and business programmes need to be closed down due to under enrollment.

国际学生通常都付全学费，所有大学都欢迎。

But speaking of this QS ranking, why does QS put a strong emphasis on the intl student and faculty ratios? It seems that it has nothing to do with the $.

AI says:
QS ranks the international student and faculty ratio highlybecause it indicates a university's global attractiveness, and a diverse and internationally-connected environment is considered a sign of high quality and strong research output. A high ratio suggests that a university can attract top talent from around the world, which enriches the learning environment and expands research collaboration networks. This metric reflects a university's ability to engage the networks.


If most of the so-called international students and faculty actually come from our own country, does it fulfill the above-mentioned critieria?

受惠於內地生是計算入國際生 (教員也是一樣計法), 所以, 香港大學可以在"國際學生佔比"和"國際教員佔比"這兩個範疇, 拿到100分滿分, 分數比美國哈佛和英國牛津等頂尖名校還要高.

這兩項佔總分的一成, 而大學與大學的差距, 有時只差0.1或0.2分 (out of 100).

The purpose of admitting international students is to enhance the diversity of the student mix for the exchange of cultural, social and economic systems between local and non local students besides the increase of the revenue.
Many HK teenagers have a better understanding of foreign countries than their own. In that sense, Mainland students can help local students to have a better understanding of our country as well as global awareness.

Interesting! :good:
In fact, a lot of New Yorkers and Bostonians have minimal exposure to midwest and southern states. If the same principle applies, Harvard, Columbia and NYU should also be able to get a 100% score on these ratios.

Different states in US share the same legal system and education system while there are still substantial differences between Mainland and HK in terms of legal and education systems.
