Semester Exchange at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

Information on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

It is strongly recommended for students interested in this program to register for ENGR 29701 – Global Engineering Orientation (1 cr.) in the Fall semester prior to studying abroad. The ENGR 29701 course prepares students in a variety of ways (cultural training, some language training, applications for visa, etc.), which can substantially reduce the burden and stress of preparing to study abroad.

 

Program Focus

HKUST considers logistics management to be a strength of their program.
