Of course there are always different ways to interpret data, but I prefer to interpret them like the Olympics: Starting with the number of gold medals (4 stars), then silver medals (3 stars), and then bronze medals (2 stars) HKBU has come ahead of CUHK and HKU. This in spite of the lower budget and fewer facilities (e.g. a much smaller library) we are given.
Using the same system as above, the Faculty of Social Sciences of HKBU is the fourth best Faculty of Social Sciences in Hong Kong. Out of eight, this is a very good result considering the limited funds and facilities we receive. We come just after the big-three universities, which receive a disproportionate amount of funding and facilities. Which shows how well we spend government funds! :)
Well done to us! :)
