About The Program
The iconic skyline of Hong Kong is the ultramodern backdrop, showing hints of Chinese and British colony roots. Overlooking Clear Water Bay, the futuristic-looking Hong Kong University of Science and Technology campus is just 45 minutes from downtown. The university offers classes for any major, but engineering and business majors will find value in its interdisciplinary programs. Socially speaking, the student life is incredible. Campus clubs include dragon boat racing, photography, magic, and martial arts. Hong Kong offers anything from a steaming bowl of dim sum, indie music on the harbor, Chinese opera in a bamboo theater, or pre-dawn tai chi.
