From a professional perspective, it’s Asia’s financial center and home base for countless international companies. Students can enjoy all the city has to offer in terms of culture, food, and outdoor activities and at the same time study at one of the best universities in Asia,” said David Esser, student HKUST and exchange at University of Sydney.
