Data Science and Analytics
2021-2022

As a world-leading university in science and technology, HKUST is well-known for its academic excellence and active learning environment. For a data science student from Shanghai like me, HKUST is always listed among the top universities in the world, and is a leading authority in a range of technology and innovation-related fields. As a melting pot of Chinese and Western cultures and research environment, HKUST has made it easy for students who are more familiar with Chinese culture to receive graduate education.

As a first-year Data Science and Analytics (DSA) PhD candidate and a freshman in graduate studies who was previously educated in Shanghai, I was concerned about getting along with research group members. To help calm my worried mind, my tutor Lei had invited me to join group meetings for several weeks before the course enrollment period began. Not long after that, I could feel the group’s passion for research. The tutor and senior students raised questions and suggestions, and freshman students were active in proposing ideas and thoughts. For me, this engaging and collaborative research attitude and atmosphere is the greatest asset of HKUST.
