Research Opportunities

The School of Engineering is committed to fostering innovation with a strong research culture. Engineering students are engaged in research and design projects since their undergraduate study. Students have the choice of conducting research / design projects locally or internationally.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is one of HKUST’s signature programs designed to provide a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to engage in academic research and help them develop a broad and insightful perspective of their areas of interest. It was first launched in 2005 and was offered every summer for students to immerse themselves in various tailor-made research projects.

International Summer Research Sponsorship Program

This sponsorship is designated to provide engineering undergraduates the opportunity to conduct research projects in the overseas institutions, while getting a taste of cultural exposure.

For Current Undergraduate Students, please login to the Intranet for the program details, application procedures, eligibility and financial arrangement.
