我們讚賞行政長官2017年施政報告中有關政府支持香港高等教育界的立場。施政報告亦反映政府的承諾，採取全面綜合的措施提升香港教育界在國際上的競爭力。我們尤其支持政府在研究及發展方面投放資源，在五年內把本地研發總開支相對本地生產總值的比率，倍升至約1.5%。我們亦歡迎設立宿舍發展基金，用以增加大學宿舍宿位數目，解決宿位短缺問題，從而改善學生在香港的學習體驗。 我們會積極與政府合作，在高等教育界推行這些新措施，促進香港發展。

Internships are an important part of university life to gain real world working experience as well as discovering and understanding yourself. As Pishun (T&M-DDP) said, "whatever you do, do not restrict yourself by what you study, because the future is full of possibilities."

Little did Sandra Sobanska know when she left her native Poland in 2014 to join HKUST’s Global Business undergraduate program, that within three years she could be part of a team staging anything quite like Hack Horizon. However this unique international - and airborne – hackathon is only the latest stage in the exciting journey Sobanska says she’s been on since her arrival in Hong Kong. 

Recent news covered Chris Ko from the class of 2017 about her vegetarian tea cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui, and how she made good use of every skill she learnt from HKUST’s EVMT program to realize her dream. “When I chose to apply to the Environmental Management and Technology (EVMT) program, I thought I would be learning about a wide range of environmental issues and their solutions,” said Chris. “But what’s more, I discovered what I wanted to do, and the program helped me achieved my goals.” EVMT offers students a unique opportunity to grasp scientific and technological concepts and translate them into practice-based and sustainable business ideas. The intense, cross disciplinary program only admits 15 students every year, making it one of the most competitive degree programs in Hong Kong. “Many people still think that going ‘green’ loses money,” said Chris.

In the past 2016/17 academic year, Dual Degree Program in Technology & Management (T&M-DDP) students joined various competitions and demonstrated their outstanding abilities and potentials of future consultants and engineers.

In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, a growing collection of videos was made to feature the remarkable community at HKUST – past and present. “I wish HKUST's ranking will keep going up, both in Asia and the whole world.” Head Gardener of Facilities Management Office, Mr Andy Lam said.
