HKUST Corporate Brochure

Grooming well-rounded students goes beyond the classroom, therefore our multi-purpose Shaw Auditorium, expected to be completed this year, will be a central and important space for many teaching and cultural programs that will nurture aptitudes for creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, the skills required for success in the increasingly globalized yet challenging society. Regionally, the University’s new branch campus in Guangzhou will serve as an important foothold for HKUST to assume a pivotal role in boosting innovation and technology development in the Greater Bay Area, as we continue to nurture talent to tackle the dire challenges of the 21st century, such as wealth inequality, unequal opportunities, and aging in multiple communities. From its home base, HKUST has been cultivating changes in thinking and behavior. Starting with sustainability, HKUST will turn its campus into a living laboratory for anyone who can identify and come up with solutions to problems around them, complementing the University’s strategy of advancing research excellence to solve today’s biggest problems through its alliances of more than 300 academic, research, and industry partners globally. Going forward, HKUST seeks to enhance the student learning experience, and expand its sphere of influence to the Greater China and the world. GO BEYOND Photo credit: Feng Gao
