WEBINAR | How Can An MBA Drive Your Career In Tech?

Excellent Supporting Staff

HKUST campus is a very scenic place. However, the best part of the university is the professors and administrators. I have had numerous instances where I have approached them outside their office hours and asked them for help. I have always received full support, and they have helped me escape some very tricky situations. I will miss the faculty and especially the UG Hall 5 Residence Master. I am grateful for his help during my undergraduate program. I will recommend people choose HKUST for their bachelor, master, or Ph.D. studies. Do experience the hall life and you will never regret it.

Stressful university

Vibe Students in HKUST is really competitive, they study really hard. Environment Nice sea view and modern campus Teaching Many professors are from mainland, whose accent are difficult to understand sometimes. Harsh grading from most of the professors from my department Opportunities HKUST provides many opportunities and guidance for students on careers and extracurricular activities

Hard working and motivational

Major selection activities are very competitive. 1st/2nd year students work hard to get into popular majors they want. If you enjoy working in a competitive environment, this is a great place. Great ocean view with sports facilities and activities ready for you. Many programmes and social clubs available to boost your cv, learn practical skills for future jobs and interviews.

Good for academics but not that good for student life

Professors and teaching staffs definitely know what they are teaching and have strong knowledge in their discipline; Academics can be quite tough and stressful for students as everyone works very hard and course grades are rather competitive; Student societies exist but are not extensive. Activities are also mostly non-existent.

The nice schoolmates

I like the canteen in my school. Friends are sitting together and chat with each other freely, making it a harmonious place to have lunch. Sometimes the professors will also come here to have lunch, some talented schoolmates will talk about academic knowledge with them.

Students take precedence over everything else

I started out as an undergrad in September 2015, and jumped right into their PhD program after finishing up my first degree. I think that itself is a testament to how special a place HKUST holds in my heart. While the stunning beauty offered by its campus, lined by the sea and mountains, was the first to capture my heart, I have grown to love pretty much everything about it with time. What I appreciate the most about it is that the needs, strengths and shortcomings of each student are carefully evaluated to help him/her customize the coursework while ensuring that the degree requirements are met. The student mentors, advisors, instructors and professors are more than willing to give it their all to help out the students. While the atmosphere can certainly get a little competitive, I never saw it take an unhealthy turn; I believe a certain degree of competition, competitiveness and stress might be necessary to drive us towards our goals. If you want to receive the best care and advice and grow into an independent and confident individual, HKUST is the right choice for you! I can guarantee that you won’t regret becoming a part of the family!
