1. Not in Beijing
2. The scale is small, and the undergraduate course starts from 1958 every year 1800.
3. Pure science and engineering, basically no liberal arts.
The ranking of universities in China is based on the scale or the whole semester, so HKUST is not as good as Peking University in China, but its international status is not worse than Peking University. You know, HKUST only has more than 50,000 undergraduate graduates in 50 years, and like other universities in China, the number of graduates in one year is not less than 1 10,000.
