Student Profile(s)
Gu Jiani
BDT program at HKUST provides me an insight into the field of big data. Teaching and supervision here are topnotch. Courses in this program are well designed, which cover not only professional knowledge but also frontier research in mathematics, artificial intelligence, finance and computer science. To complete projects in each course, we need to spend a lot of time and energy in researching, coding and presenting. This gives me an opportunity to work on the content I am interested in and to contribute creative ideas. Although courses here are a bit hard and make me overwhelmed, the improvements I obtained during the program are huge and now I am well prepared for a data scientist career. Besides, I also accept meticulous instruction from the supervisor for my independent project that gives me real hands-on experience so that I can develop relevant job skills. It is a fulfilling experience in my life where I learned from the first-class professors in the field and worked with excellent classmates from all over the world.
