EXPLORE HKUST BACKGROUND OF THE UNIVERSITY HKUST is a publicly funded university that opened in 1991. It is a leading international research university dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge in science, engineering, business, humanities and social science, and the education of tomorrow’s leaders. Undergraduate programs are offered by the School of Science, School of Engineering, School of Business and Management, School of Humanities and Social Science, and the Interdisciplinary Programs Office. As a young university in its fourth decade, HKUST’s achievements are quite remarkable. It has consistently been in the top spots in international rankings, a demonstration of the University’s high academic quality and the global recognition it has gained. My semester at HKUST has given me a new outlook on life. I have created new lifelong friendships, both with locals and other exchange students. The academic aspect of the exchange has been fruitful, and I may come back to do research later.
