The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) is dedicated to establishing, experimenting and assessing fresh educational models which support students for facing the complexities of the modern world. Recognizing that the tremendous challenges as well as opportunities of our time, from technological disruption to societal transformation, demand cross-disciplinary solutions, we have built a groundbreaking academic model: the "Hub-Thrust" framework, breaking down traditional academic silos and fostering deep collaboration across disciplines to cultivate agile, forward-thinking problem-solvers and contributing citizens. Furthermore, we believe that true excellence lies at the intersection of specialized knowledge and holistic growth. In addition to providing students with cutting-edge expertise, we strive to nurture well-rounded individuals through immersive and humanity-centric educational experiences.
