Welcome to "Diversity at a Glance," where we highlight the diverse fabric of our university community. At HKUST, diversity is a vital aspect of our identity. We are dedicated to creating an environment where every individual feels welcomed, valued and empowered.
This page offers a snapshot of our community’s diversity, featuring key demographic data of our undergraduates and comparative insights. We invite you to explore these statistics, celebrate our diverse community, and join us in our journey towards a more inclusive campus.
In an effort to promote and embed the culture of diversity at HKUST, we measure and track a range of UG student data, disaggregated by gender. The graphs below reflect the number of applications and admissions of undergraduates by gender, as well as the graduation rate by gender.

We also systematically measure and track the student data of those with Financial Needs, Special Educational Needs and Ethnic Minority, to inform future strategic and practice directions for the University.
Undergraduates on Financial Assistance
Self-declared Special Educational Needs (SEN) students
Ethnic Minorities*
1 Based on the number of NCS Intake, which is around 5%-6% of UG intake per year.
* Ethnic Minorities refer to persons of non-Chinese ethnicity in Hong Kong.
