"UST offers far more than the perfect combination of western and eastern education."

I applied to UST when I was on the Chinese Mainland teaching English as part of my gap year. Being completely taken by the Chinese culture, yet still craving some Western influence, I felt UST would be able to satisfy my wish to learn more about Asia and its cultures, while not being too alien from what I had been used to in the UK. Having completed my first year, I now realise UST offers far more than the perfect combination of western and eastern education - it also gives students, professors, and alumni from all over the world the opportunity to contribute to a truly international learning environment.

I chose GBUS because of its enrichment programs. From its business case competitions and international exchange programs, to its mentoring schemes and internships, the GBUS program appealed to my belief that there is more to University than the grades you leave with. Of course there are times when studying has to take over your life so you can get above mean in your looming exam, but when you do have time to relax, the environment of UST, Hong Kong, and even Asia, means you are on a constant learning curve, even when your head isn’t buried in a book.
