As an international metropolitan, Hong Kong is also one of the world’s most culturally integrated cities, having both Eastern and Western perspectives. Hong Kong is an ideal place to live, study, experience city dynamics and learn about different cultures, offering many opportunities for your future career.

Hong Kong’s city center is less than an hour from Mainland China, with half of the world’s population within 5 hours’ flight time. It serves, and will continue to serve, as Asia’s economic hub. The local public transportation is very convenient, allowing visitors to travel to any part of Hong Kong easily. 

As a government-funded university, HKUST is financially supported by the Hong Kong government. Not only are the tuition fees and the University-provided accommodations affordable, students also enjoy student rates when taking MTR and using some public services in the city.

Non-local graduates may apply to stay/return in Hong Kong for 12 months without other conditions of stay. Non-local students can also take up internships and part-time on-campus and summer jobs during study.
