HKUST offers a dynamic learning environment. There are so many courses to choose from. Every course is taught in English. Moreover, I just loved how international and how diverse the courses were, and in group projects you can really work with students from all over the world, and everyone will bring global insights into the discussion.

When I was studying at HKUST, we formed a group chat with people from all over the world. Students from Germany, U.K., Netherlands, the US, and we would get together every once in a while to go to the beach, to the city and eat on campus. I would definitely recommend to study abroad and take the opportunity to have an experience like myself.
