At the juncture of Chinese and British-American culture lies The Chinese University of Hong Kong. As a Scandinavian student, this great vortex of culture, financial flows and political economic aspirations offers a great opportunity to see the world as I had never seen it before. The MGPE program offers a perfect opportunity to understand this complex place, how it is shaped by its surroundings, how it establishes a local sense of order, and how it impacts the rest of the world.
Hong Kong is worth a trip, the MGPE program is worth one year of study, and the friendships you will be able to establish with people from all over the world will be ones you will cherish the rest of your life.
