The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Abbreviation: HKUST) is a public university established in 1991 under Hong Kong Law Chapter 1141 (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Ordinance) which made it become one of the nine universities in Hong Kong. It consists of five Schools, including Schools of Business & Management, Sciences, Humanities & Social Science, Engineering, and the HKUST Fok Ying Tung Graduate School with 8,699 undergraduates and 3,904 postgraduate students.[2]
HKUST has been consistently viewed as one of the top three research universities in Hong Kong, the other two being the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.[3] The university has also topped the QS Asian University Rankings in 2011 and 2012.
In the late 1980s the Hong Kong Government anticipated a strong demand for university graduates to fuel an economy increasingly based on services. Sir Chung Sze Yuen and the governor of Hong Kong, Sir Edward Youde, conceived the idea of another university. Planning for the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology began in 1986. Construction began at the former British garrison Kohima Camp in Tai Po Tsai on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula.
Originally scheduled to finish in 1994,[6] the death of Sir Edward in 1986 led to increased effort and allowed for UST to open its doors early — in 1991. Several leading scientists and researchers took up positions at the new university in its early years, including physicist Leroy Chang who arrived in 1993 as Dean of Science and went on to become Vice-President for Academic Affairs.[7] Thomas E. Stelson was also a founding member of the administration.[8]
The project was criticized for surpassing the budget set forth by the Hong Kong Government and Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. However, under the fund-raising efforts of its vice-chancellor, Woo Chia-wei, the first students enrolled in October 1991. By 1992, accommodation and athletic facilities were expanded to support about 7,000 students. Several more expansion projects such as the construction of the HKUST Enterprise Centre have since been completed and efforts included the expansion of housing facilities scheduled for completion for 2009.
School of Science
A broad spectrum of programs in the biological science, physics, chemistry and mathematics are available for undergraduates [27] and postgraduates,[28] and special emphasis is placed on developing innovative curricula in areas of technological importance. Its diverse faculty is engaged in advanced R&D in many emerging and dynamic fields which include nanoscience and new functional materials, neuroscience, marine and environmental science, drug design and synthesis, number theory, and financial mathematics, among others. A new Division of Life Science was recently established by integrating the former Departments of Biochemistry and Biology. The re-organization is intended to promote collaborations within the Division and create synergism with other Departments and Schools at HKUST. Central facilities and institutes are also available to provide specialized research support. These include the Biotechnology Research Institute,[29] the William Mong Institute of Nano Science and Technology,[30] the Animal and Plant Care Facility,[31] the Biosciences Central Research Facility,[32] and the Materials Characterization and Preparation Facility.[33]
The School of Science emphasizes the whole-person development and international exposure of students. Its undergraduate exchange program provides science students with as many international learning opportunities as it can throughout their studies. The School has teamed up with over 60 exchange partners[34] from regions including Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Mainland China, and Japan.
Computer science, industrial engineering, logistics management , mechanical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electronic and computer engineering, and Hong Kong’s only chemical engineering department are all undertaken at HKUST.
Notable facilities include the world’s first Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility equipped with biaxial shaking table and a Huawei-HKUST Innovative Laboratory established to explore telecom networks, wireless technologies and other relevant emerging technologies. The School is also home to the Ministry of Education/Microsoft Research Asia Information Technology Key Laboratory, a model for collaboration between university, industry, and government. Another exciting advance is the Center for Engineering Education Innovation (E²I), now helping to propel the School to the forefront of engineering education and student development.
The School of Engineering has student exchange programs with over 90 reputable overseas and Mainland China universities, including Cornell University, Georgia Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Purdue University, University of Pennsylvania, University College London, University of Bristol, Technical University of Munich, University of California, etc. The School also offers summer study programs as an alternative to the exchange programs in regular semesters. The study programs enable the students to be exposed to a foreign culture while studying in a new learning environment.
HKUST Business School is consistently ranked among the best in the world. It was the first business school in Asia to be awarded accreditation by both the US-based Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) and European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).[35] Global perspectives are assisted by the School’s 140-strong international faculty whose diverse national, cultural and ethnic background provides a stimulating environment for research, teaching and learning as well as informal interaction. Always innovative in approach, the School ensures that its degree programs– undergraduate, MBA, EMBA, and PhD – and range of executive education,keep students at the forefront of developments while signature programs such as the much sought-after BBA in Global Business have helped break new ground in Hong Kong. With 11 research centers [36] devoted to areas from business case studies and investing to Asian Financial Markets and China Business & Management, the School is also superbly placed to leverage its international and regional knowledge base as Asia rises in significance in the global economy. A new purpose-built campus at HKUST [37] is set to enable the School to develop further, offering state-of-the-art facilities and a cohesive environment from which to generate the business pioneers of the future.
The School of Business and Management has one of the largest undergraduate exchange programs in Asia, with more than 110 partner schools worldwide.[38] Its partners consist of universities in Asia, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. Every year close to 400 undergraduates, over half of the School’s BBA/BSc student population, spend a semester at business schools overseas. Some students can be selected for two semester exchanges at different universities in two continents.
The School of Humanities and Social Science supports interdisciplinary academic training and research in fields including anthropology, economics, geography, history, innovation studies, languages, linguistics, literature, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, and visual art. Our geographic focus on China, including Hong Kong, and our disciplinary emphases on the comparative, the interdisciplinary, and the quantitative are reflected in our graduate training programs as well as by our new undergraduate major on Global China Studies.
