Event highlights: 

Thematic Talks

  • The two talks cover relevant, popular themes for students and parents with different interests and aspirations, helping them progress confidently in their academics.

    The first offers an analysis of industry talent demand, essential skills, HKUST graduates’ career prospects, and preparation strategies. The second highlights how HKUST’s interdisciplinary and innovative curricula nurture globally competitive talent with international perspectives, helping students stand out on the global stage. 

    These talks link senior secondary education, university learning, and career development, encouraging parents and students to think beyond admissions and focus on long‑term planning and well‑informed academic decisions. 

Pre-U Taster Workshops

  • HKUST launched the Pre-University Program in 2025 to help students plan their future at an earlier stage. The program offers credit‑bearing courses, cross‑disciplinary projects, and overseas learning that broaden academic horizons and provide high school students with early exposure to university.

    Participating students can join free taster classes to experience first‑hand the international and forward‑thinking Pre‑University courses, laying a strong foundation for their future academic and career success.

    The first Pre‑U Taster Workshop focuses on Managing Risk in Business and Daily Life, while the second focuses on Designing AI Workflows for Smart Learning.

    Registration is required. Limited spots are limited. Students in Form 3-4 or equivalent levels will be prioritized.
