Quality Assurance at HKUST
The quality of educational programs and the learning experience of students at HKUST are underpinned by systems and policies for quality assurance designed to enable and encourage a collective effort to improve the University's work and maintain academic standards - the HKUST Quality Assurance Framework (QAF).
Quality Assurance at the School of Science
The School follows a set of quality assurance mechanisms for periodic review and quality enhancement of its educational programs. This gives our Science students an all-round education that enriches the development of their appreciation on Science, ethical practice, global outlook, critical thinking and skills that are essential for lifelong learning.
