From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) was established in 1991 as the third university in Hong Kong. The current president is Chu Ching-wu.
It is located on the Clear Water Bay peninsula in Sai Kung and occupies a total area of 60 hectares.
A huge red sundial is placed at the entrance plaza and has became a distinguishing symbol of the university ever since.
In 2002, a controversial discussion about the amalgamation of UST with the Chinese University of Hong Kong was started by the government.
