Applicants with a Non-Economics Background

The HKU MEcon programme welcomes candidates from different academic backgrounds. Those admitted without an economics background are required to complete a summer preparatory programme to strengthen the foundational knowledge before starting the programme. The requirement of completing a summer preparatory programme will be set out in the offer letter as part of the conditions.

The preparatory programme will cover topics on:

• Microeconomics (Online)
• Macroeconomics (Online)
• Mathematics (Face-to-face)

Assessments will be conducted at the end of the summer preparatory programme and students are required to attend all classes and pass all assessments.
