OTHER EXPENSES
On-campus accommodation at HKUST is not available due to heavy demand. Students will have to explore short-term off-campus accommodation. Exchange-in and non-local students can seek help from the University’s Student Housing Office for information on short-term off-campus housing options.
Students who go on the one-term exchange will continue to pay HKUST tuition fee for the credits they earn at exchange schools. Travelling and living expenses vary according to the locations of exchange schools and are not included in the program fee. In some cases, the partner universities may require exchange students to pay for the costs of participating in the Block Seminar and some other course materials.
