About Credit Transfer and Onboard Strategy

Peter (COMP / AI) & Fox (CPEG) will share for Credit Transfer details, and CSESS will share onboarding startegy later.

This sharing will focus on how to prepare for studying here, along with advice on the mental aspect.

Study Two year or Three year?

Actually, there is no definite answer on that.

My experience on studying in HKUST

At first, want graduate in 2 year

But after first semester

I found out there no need

有能力唔代表就要做

Have ability != Must do

But if you want to grad in two year

There is lot of way...

Overload every semester, study course in summer and winter... and more

But why?

讀得快又唔會有好offer

Study fast != Can find good job

Time to explore yourself

呢度有好多機會去你裝備自己

How to find information?
