Have you ever asked yourself how you can be the one to shape the future? That thought ignited my journey as a Computer Science student at HKUST.

During my high school days, my fascination with mathematics, physics, and coding was the driving force behind my desire to make a meaningful impact in the realm of technology. These subjects weren't just academic endeavors; they were my passions, molding my problem-solving and critical thinking skills. It was this very passion that paved the way for my future in Computer Science.

Fast forward to today, and HKUST has become my essential stepping stone towards a fulfilling career in Computer Science. It's one of those few universities that offers something truly remarkable. With its multiple divisions and the freedom to carve your academic path, HKUST values your interests and provides a platform to follow your passions. At HKUST, I am able to engage in hands-on, research-driven learning. Another aspect that truly sets this institution apart is its rich diversity. Every day, I am surrounded by students from various backgrounds and cultures, and I can expand my academic and cultural horizons.. Whether you are from Asia or the Western world, HKUST's location bridges cultures and offers a unique blend of experiences.

I had never expected myself to have the opportunity to study engineering in a scenic, diverse, and inclusive environment like HKUST. I can wholeheartedly pursue my dreams and aspirations in a space that fosters creativity and innovation. It's a place where possibilities are boundless, and I've realized that the journey itself is as transformative as the destination.

To future engineers, I offer this insight: "In the realm of engineering, your imagination and passion are the only limits."
