Recently there has been renewed interest in the goal 01 establishing Hong Kong as one 01
the education hubs 01 China. 1 lirmly believe that Hong Kong has all the qualities to develop into a hub 01 higher education to serve the whole Greater China region. HKUST' s aspiration is to contribute in its unique way to this goal
The University's plan is to expand its impact on both education and technology development on the Mainland. There will be two main limbs to this approach: establishment 01 an independent graduate school that will be a leading source 01
high-caliber research graduates, and a
state-ol-the-a叫 R&Dlacility serving industries in the Pearl River Delta
While these two new lacilities will extend HKUST' s inlluence and contributions within the Mainland, efforts to recruit the cream 01 mainland students to study on the Hong Kong campus will continue apace.
By consolidating our efforts at home in China and building on the excellence we have achieved in research and teaching over the past 15 years,
HKUST has a perfect launch pad to reach the greatest heights 01 world leadership
