My experience in Hong Kong has been more than amazing! This city is so lively and vibrant that 4 months are not even enough to enjoy all there is to see and do! The friends I made at HKUST also made this experience unforgettable, and this is thanks to HKUST’s large international community, which makes the student life super fun! From chilling on the absolutely gorgeous campus to going out in the craziest rooftop bars overlooking the city, there is something for everyone here! The SBM’s team is also fully committed to making this a memorable experience for us by offering all kinds of activities. If you want to make the most out of your exchange semester, HKUST is the way to go!!

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.

My exchange experience at HKUST has been amazing. The university campus is beautiful, surrounded by nature and close to the busy city of Hong Kong, which makes it a perfect mix of calm and excitement. The professors were friendly and always willing to help, creating a great learning environment. Everyone at the university and in Hong Kong was welcoming and made me feel at home. I’m so grateful for this experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to study.

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.
