only takes one year to complete the 2-3 years of master's course in the mainland! [Acid]
Most of the master's programs at the University of Hong Kong only have one year. The course arrangement is extremely compact and the learning process is very efficient and fulfilling. It not only saves time and living expenses, but also allows mainland graduate students to enter the workplace for two years and give priority to themselves!
