Description: Study science and technology courses with Chinese and international students at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) located on a beautiful peninsula in Kowloon, Hong Kong! The school of science offers a whole spectrum of programs in biological science, physical science and mathematical science and also offers research opportunities for students.

In order to experience HKUST life to the fullest, overseas full-time students are offered on-campus accommodation in student residence halls. There are six undergraduate halls, most rooms are shared, and are air-conditioned and furnished.

Resources are available for students who would like to find their own off-campus apartment.

Highlights: Situated on the southern tip of China and in the heart of Asia, charismatic Hong Kong captivates all who study, live and work here. With its Chinese heritage stretching over thousands of years and some 150 years of British administration until its return to China in 1997, Hong Kong's unique East-West perspective has created a cosmopolitan city with a 24/7 lifestyle and an energy all of its own.

There are many student societies on campus for students with all different interests, ranging from Chinese orchestra to Shaolin martial arts, dragon boating to debating, volleyball to film. Hong Kong is an exciting and diverse city with something interesting for everyone. Browse through the street markets and practice bargaining skills or visit museums and heritage trails.

Try the local cuisine and explore the traditional villages in the New Territories and Outlying Islands. Have fun at the theme parks, beaches, and hang out at Lan Kwai Fong and Soho by nightfall. Attend a concert, or watch a sports event with friends. Hongkongers are health conscious, and hiking is a popular pastime for people of all ages.
