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.
