The value of HKUST students' all-round out-
look was reflected by the popularity of
the University's graduates with employers.
They found themselves in demand across
a wide range of fields despite the contin-
uation of competitive conditions in the
marketplace. Results of the University's
2004 Graduate Employment Survey
showed that more than 99% of 1,348
undergraduates had found jobs, started
businesses, or gone on to further studies
by December 2004.
Mean gross monthly salaries of gradu-
ates were up 20% from the previous year,
with the highest monthly salary standing
at HK$49,000. Some 70% found employ-
ment in the business sector, followed by
manufacturing and industry, and educa-
tion. The most popular job categories
were engineering, marketing and sales,
accounting, and systems analysis and
computer programming.
There were 870 Master's and 103 doctoral
graduates from HKUST in 2004. Also on the
postgraduate front, Hong Kong's research
culture was given a collective boost with
the signing of a Memorandum of
Understanding by HKUST, the University of
Hong Kong and the Chinese University of
Hong Kong to establish a Joint Centre for
Advanced Study. The Centre is part of a
move to develop deeper collaboration
among Hong Kong research universities in
order to pool individual strengths and
jointly raise Hong Kong's competitiveness
at the highest levels of academic
achievement.
