The college system is an important aspect of undergraduate education at HKUST(GZ). Under this system, students are assigned to one of several colleges, each of which serves the purpose of cultivating and preparing students for mature life. Colleges provide students with the opportunity to meet academics from around the world and from a broad range of subjects. Within each college, a tutor system is implemented, which provides students with academic and personal support throughout their undergraduate studies. In essence, each college is a community for students to live, study, and conduct academic events, and serves as a home for them both physically and mentally.
