Studying IC design in HKUST is the best choice that I have ever

made. The professors of IC design program are extraordinarily hard-working and responsive

to help us to understand the course material in an easier way. The most valuable aspect of the course is that professors incorporate lots of industry experience, which helps us to become a quali�ed

candidate for IC industry jobs...

HUANG Fan (China, 2016)

I didn't expect that I could gain so much from HKUST in the last year... IC

Design is a tough and challenging career, you need to devote all yourself to it then you may get

some reward. The program at HKUST provides the top class professors and well-arranged courses which will help students to develop good design perspective and

realize the beauty of IC design...

LI Zhuo(China, 2016)

Through Master of Science program of Electronic Engineering at

HKUST, I came in touch with a broad range of practical subjects like embedded systems, pattern

recognition, communication networks and IC design... The course projects helped me enhance the knowledge and become familiarized with software and applications like Matlab, Cadence and Eclipse... I am glad and grateful to have the chance to join this program, which served as a solid preparation for my

career as an engineer in a relevant industry.

HKUST is a diverse community of outstanding scholars from all over the world

with different cultures and backgrounds and it’s a great pleasure to have the opportunity to study in such a dynamic

university. Moreover, it is an excellent training ground to create and share new ideas with the leading experts in their respective �elds

of specialization.

Aside from its stunningly beautiful campus and breath-taking views, what I love most about HKUST is that it gives the students a holistic approach towards learning. Studying in HKUST gives us an opportunity to develop not only our technical and analytical skills, but also our soft skills, including our interpersonal and leadership skills... The world-class professors are very keen to help and mentor their students in the best way they could.

They are very accommodating and open to enquiries and consultation, and are often delightful to discuss new ideas that

further arouses our curiosity and creativity…

Coming to HKUST for the MSc in Telecommunications program has been

one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Communication technology is a fast-changing �eld

and the professors have constantly shared practical knowledge on the evolution of communication systems and

future emerging technologies. All of the professors are experts in their �eld and excellent support/advice is given to students either during lectures or through one-on-one appointments... I am con�dent that the department will grow to be the leading forefront in giving students the �rst hand exposure to appreciating telecommunications as an important �eld in

the future.
