ZHANG Yixing (Mainland China, Class of 2023)
Studying telecommunications at HKUST is the best choice for me after working for a few years. The courses provided me with a comprehensive understanding of wireless communication. The professors in the program are world-class and their expertise in various areas of telecommunications is truly impressive. I found that the classes were always engaging and never dull, especially with Prof. Khaled B. Letaief. We also have the chance to complete an independent project. It allowed us to apply the theories we learned in the classroom to practical systems and gain a deeper understanding of the research and implementation challenges. Overall, the experience is unforgettable and has truly shaped my career and personal growth.

Telecommunication is a broad field of study. Courses in the MSc in Telecommunication program in HKUST are well designed and provided us a full picture on how information is exchanged between communication parties. The passionate professors here are confident in their specialist knowledge and able to respond to students’ questions clearly. Since they used case studies to deliver knowledge, the abstract and complex ideas could be explained effectively. Through different course projects, we could also gain some hands-on experiences by researching, programming and presenting. This MSc program has equipped me with the important knowledge of underlying communication technologies to deal with IoT related engineering problems. It is absolutely worth to study here no matter you are developing your interests in telecom industry or even other fields in IT industry.

Letaief. It is pleasure and not pressure.
