Although I have never been to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I have had some contact with several doctors who graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and I can roughly judge the academic situation of this school from their level. So my conclusion is not groundless, but based on reality. Of course, it must be admitted that there is indeed the possibility that the sample size is too small to fully reflect. However, it is originally a family statement, and readers can judge for themselves.

From the professional level, it is roughly equivalent to the last stream of Chinese mainland 985, and from the overall scale and strength, it is roughly equivalent to the domestic medium-level professional universities.

The history of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is actually very short. This is actually a common feature of the University of Hong Kong. Besides the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong has a long history of 100 years. Other schools have a history of only a few decades, such as HKUST, which has a history of only twenty or thirty years. The University of Hong Kong has a long history because its predecessor, Medical College, has a long history. If we really start from the university restructuring, it is actually relatively late, which is shorter than the running history of many universities in China.

HKUST is a small but mature university funded by a group of wealthy people in Hong Kong, imitating the western management model. It mainly covers science and engineering and economic management, and is closer to professional universities than comprehensive universities in China. Even in the field of science and engineering, it focuses on the application of engineering, and the coverage of science is relatively small. So it is a relatively small university on the whole.

In the early years, this school really gathered a group of people in a short time by introducing famous scholars from China from the United States. In fact, a group of scholars have been introduced from China. Then, it recruited students from the Chinese world, including mainland China, Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province and even Singapore. At the beginning, I spared no effort to attract outstanding students, and the scholarship was extremely rich, so it still played some brand effects in a short time.

However, it takes a long time to run a university, and this short-term effect will become weaker and weaker as time goes by. At the same time, because the investment itself is also decreasing, HKUST's social attention will be less and less. In recent years, HKUST has found it difficult to recruit high-quality talents in China, on the one hand, because people know more about it, and on the other hand, because its investment in attracting top students is decreasing.

In fact, there is a school in China that completely imitates the HKUST model, and that is south university of science and technology of china, China, which is located in Shenzhen. When South University of Science and Technology was founded, it caused a great sensation in China, but after several years, the rising waves became smaller and smaller. In fact, the situation of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is similar, except that the starting point of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is higher, so even though it has declined, the situation is still much better than that of the South University of Science and Technology.

As for the so-called international ranking, it is actually worthless. Don't trust those things. In the world ranking dominated by American and British media, it can be clearly seen that American and British universities are dominant. At the same time, Hong Kong, Singapore, India and other regions closely related to the history of the United States and Britain generally rank relatively high. In fact, the university status of Japan, France, Germany and other technological powers is not as high as those of these regions and countries, which is of course unreasonable. Judging from HKUST's current school scale and academic strength, if it ranks in the mainland, I personally think that the most likely ranking is about 70 to 80 universities in China, which is the medium level of 2 1 1.

Finally, briefly talk about whether it is necessary and valuable to apply for this school. Personally, I think the following questions should be considered. If you think it over, you can apply under the right conditions.

First, can you accept the living environment in Hong Kong? At present, the environment in Hong Kong is relatively bad, and the life of mainland students in Hong Kong will be greatly affected. Are you prepared for this influence? Second, do you pass the foreign language proficiency? The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology teaches in English, which requires high foreign language ability. Third, do you have the will to study abroad? If there is no hospital for studying abroad, the learning value of HKUST will be relatively small, because the foundation of this school is not deep, there is no alumni foundation, and undergraduate employment is of little significance. However, HKUST has a warm relationship with British and American universities and rich channels for studying abroad. Fourth, can you get a high scholarship to HKUST? If you can't win, is your family financially strong? Personally, I advocate that if the family conditions are not good, you must get a high scholarship to go, otherwise you should not go. If family conditions permit, it is still necessary to link with article 3 and make a good springboard for studying abroad in the future. It is not recommended to study only one undergraduate course at HKUST University.

Personally, I think the overall research atmosphere and research ability of HKUST are not very good. This is because the history of running a school is too short and too eager for quick success. The scientific research level of HKUST doctoral students is generally poor. Therefore, it is not recommended to go to HKUST for graduate study.
