The most important thing is that IBTM program not only provides professional engineering courses, but also expands our scope in management and finance. It helps me secure an internship in an international building services consulting company before graduation. For students interested in doing research, especially about sustainable technology, Ford-HKUST grants provide good support and a good platform to work on cutting edge studies... I got a chance to show my project in the Asia Pacific Rail Exhibition in 2014, which trained me I graduated from Harbin Institute how to promote my idea in one minute. of Technology, and now am enjoying my WANG Xiao Sean time in HKUST... The way that the instructors (IBTM graduate, China, 2014) teach here is different from that in Mainland. They will be more focused on developing our problem-solving skill and give us many chances to show our abilities. In addition, I have to thank the MSc program for giving me the chance to Application join the Asia Pacific Rail 2014 Exhibition. I designed a poster about my project, and had to introduce the project details to For admission details and procedures, the exhibition's visitors. This experience was so valuable for please check: http://pg.ust.hk me because it makes me more confident to talk in public Early application is recommended for and gives me a deeper understanding of Mechanical non-local applicants for visa processing.
