Admission RoutesHKUST offers 35 different undergraduate majors. At the point of applying for admission, it is not necessary for you to decide on the choice of major. You simply need to apply via one of the below admission routes. In the first year, students will take University Common Core courses as well as School foundation courses. Students in the Science, Engineering, and Humanities will declare their majors after completing the first year. Most students in the Business and Management will declare their majors at the end of the second year.
