Students have to commit to the programme for two years and add a 20- plus credit load to their already hectic study schedule with their existing undergraduate studies. Eddie Cheung, an alumnus of the programme, has this to say to students who are thinking of applying for the programme. ‘The key thing is to know what you are pursuing and take a long-term view of the programme.
