To share HKUST's significant birthday with our overseas alumni, two global celebrations have been organized in Europe and North America in London and San Francisco respectively. This Beijing celebration will be the third global event, with the concluding one to be held in Singapore next January.
Since its official opening in 1991, HKUST has established itself as a top university in Asia and globally, rising fast through our research breakthroughs, top international faculty, diligent students, and outstanding alumni. We thank you for your support and we do hope you can join this occasion to celebrate this memorable milestone of the University, as we look forward to the next 25 years!
