POSTECH and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have decided to run dual degree Ph.D programs. 

POSTECH and the Hong Kong university on April 28 decided to open a dual degree Ph.D. program between engineering affiliates of the two universities and finally signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU).

Through the agreement, the two universities will jointly designate guidance professors for dual doctoral programs, while students belonging to the program will study at both universities for a certain period of time.

Those who meet the criteria for awarding dual degrees will receive a Ph.D. from the two universities. Through the MOU, they will cooperate to foster human resources and expand human exchanges.

Professor Tim Cheng, dean of the HKUST Institute of Technology, said, "We are pleased to see strengthened cooperative relations between the two universities. The dual doctoral program, which combines excellent faculty, experience and expertise from the two major universities in the Asia-Pacific region, will provide students with a competitive edge in conducting world-leading research."

He also said, "I believe students will be able to enjoy interesting and diverse learning experiences through cooperation in the curriculum."

Han Sung-ho, head of POSTECH Engineering, said, "The signing of the dual doctoral program agreement with HKUST has solidified the partnership between the two universities.

He added, "In particular, we expect to derive international research results through active exchanges of convergence research, including artificial intelligence (AI) and smart city areas."

Meanwhile, HKUST, established in 1991, is a research-oriented public university in Hong Kong's science and technology field and ranked 47th (third in Asia) and 32nd in QS (seven in Asia) in 2020. It has signed and carried out student exchange programs with POSTECH since 2011.
