Opportunities in Science at HKUST

Prospective students at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will learn about opportunities in science, including programmes, laboratory facilities, and research and career options, when they attend a special session hosted by HKUST's School of Science on 21 January (Saturday). "We will describe the kind of research-oriented science education we offer here, and will discuss the career prospects of our science students, " says Professor Grafton Hui, Associate Dean. "A recent survey indicates that our science graduates have been well absorbed in different sectors of the job market. Prospective students will understand why they can think with pride about studying science at HKUST." "This is the first time that the five departments in School of Science have such a joint recruitment activity. Students will have a chance to visit all the departments and their research facilities in one visit," says Professor Hui. The School of Science, comprising the Departments of Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, enrols about 25% of the University's undergraduates and 23% of its postgraduates. The School currently employs 125 faculty members. In addition to attending talks given by individual departments, students will also be able to meet with faculty members to discuss individual interests.
