Reading the above chapters is to prepare you to have a good background knowledge before studying our graduate school. This necessary background knowledge is particularly important and critical for those who had little training in economics at college's study to survive at both “International Trade and Investment” and “International Finance”, the 2 compulsory courses associated with economics discipline at our master program.
There will be a preliminary exam covering the assigned chapters at the beginning of each of the aforementioned required courses. Your performance over the exam will share 10% to 15% of the final grades of each required course, depending on the preference of the professors who teach these courses. The preliminary exam will consist of multiple choice questions from “International Trade” and “International Finance” respectively, each part sharing 50% of the total marks. Those who fail to earn more than 60% in each part (i.e. 30 marks) will be required to take the corresponding undergraduate course, and will have to get themselves passed before defending their master theses to earn the master degree. No credits are given for these undergraduate courses.
