The exchange programme is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most people. You’ll never be the age you are again travelling to a new country and finding your way around. This type of opportunity shapes you dramatically and enables you to grow in ways that you cannot imagine whilst staying in the comfort of your home and what’s familiar to you. You’ll meet new people, experience hardships and overcome them through perseverance, ultimately becoming a better version of yourself.

Studying abroad at HKUST is truly an experience unlike any other. The SBM staff and faculty have done such a great job in welcoming and helping us to settle down in our new home, from the orientation from day 1 to day trips and cultural activities throughout the semester. HKUST offers a wide pool of courses from different disciplines delivered by amazing professors who truly want you to succeed. More importantly, I was able to make so many friends from all over the world who have made my exchange a thousand times better. Hong Kong is a fast-paced country with so much to offer, there wasn't a day that I got bored with nothing to do. The past 4 months are genuinely some of the best times of my life filled with memories and laughter that I will always look back on and cherish forever.
