Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Guangzhou (HKUST GZ)

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Guangzhou

HKUST in Hong Kong is ranked 44^th in the latest QS world rankings and in 2022, it added another University in Guangzhou, China. Opened just over three years ago, HKUST GZ’s ambition is to transform the future of education through cross-disciplinary focus.

HKUST GZ has not one, but two, opportunities to visit for Summer 2026!

The first is a two week cultural summer programme which will really immerse you in the Greater Bay Area and it’s culture. You will get the chance to visit local tourist spots, tour innovative companies and hang out with local students.

Two Bristol students enjoyed participating last year and we are keen for more to have this experience in 2026!

What did previous students say?

“I definitely recommend it, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. I made several new friends – the university setting was so friendly. Feel like you’re at home very quickly.”

“I explored off campus every day, it was very easy and efficient – you use apps for everything!”

“Lots of students also travelled to Shenzhen so I went to experience their infamous 24/7 spas – it was amazing! Everything was so much cheaper than in Bristol”

“I cycled around campus late every night – there were bikes you could hire very cheaply and it felt so safe, I would never do that in Bristol. There were ducks and koi fish, a very beautiful campus.”

Also, new for 2026, they will offer a 7 week academic summer school. Stay tuned for more information!
