Can international students at HKUST stay in Hong Kong after graduation to work?

Yes. HKUST graduates can apply for the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG) scheme, which allows non-local students who have completed a full-time, locally accredited undergraduate or postgraduate program to stay and work in Hong Kong without a job offer initially.

What are the key benefits of the IANG scheme?

The IANG scheme provides international graduates with the right to stay in Hong Kong for 12 months to seek employment. During this time, they can work full-time, switch jobs freely, and potentially apply for visa extensions or other employment-based permits.

Are there other work or research opportunities available for international students at HKUST?

Yes. HKUST offers an International Visiting Internship Student Program, allowing students from outside Hong Kong to engage in short-term research projects (2–6 months). However, this is not a post-study work visa and does not offer long-term stay rights after graduation.
