“Studying chemistry at HKUST is absolutely an enlightening and rewarding experience! Not only did I reap the benefits of research opportunities, but I also had all-round experience in leadership. Doing research with professors and in HKSTP place significant importance on my self-exploration. They further ignite my passion for Chemistry research!

Throughout the years, HKUST has offered enrichment programs such as Science Busking Team and Changemaking Leader. With the eye-opening opportunity, I can explore society and introduce science to the public.”
