Big news for students worldwide! In a bold move, HKUST has stepped up to welcome international undergraduates and postgraduates from Harvard amid a new US directive. On May 23, the university announced unconditional admission and dedicated support for those facing sudden academic challenges.
The transition is designed to be as smooth as possible with tailored initiatives including accelerated application reviews, seamless credit transfers, visa assistance, and housing support. A special task force is on hand to guide every step of the way.
Hong Kong's Education Secretary Dr Choi Yuk-lin expressed strong support, encouraging talented students from around the globe to study in the vibrant Hong Kong region. The local Education Bureau is also collaborating with the Harvard Club of Hong Kong to ensure that promising students can continue their academic journey without disruption.
Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized that academic exchanges are mutually beneficial and should never be politicized. Her remarks underscored a commitment to safeguard the rights of scholars and students worldwide while promoting open educational cooperation.
For all you ambitious minds out there, this initiative isn’t just an emergency transfer — it’s an invitation to explore new horizons and seize global opportunities! 😊
