Hong Kong University of Science and Technology opens admissions for two UG courses with AI application

Students can now apply for two undergraduate courses with AI application at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), ranked No. 1 in Times Higher Education’s Young University Rankings 2020 and No. 27 among global universities in the QS World University Rankings 2021, invites applications for its two popular undergraduate degree programs - Science (Group A) * or Engineering, with an extended Major in Artificial Intelligence for the new 2021- 2022 academic year, among others. While AI is a hot topic, studying a new program solely on new emerging knowledge may not be the most effective for students, as such knowledge should be best integrated into the existing system so students could make sense of such novel technologies in real-life applications. This is why HKUST blended its top-ranking science and engineering programs with AI taught by some of the sector’s most seasoned experts. Students enrolled in the two programs will have the flexibility to choose their major.
