What have you gained through UST?

When asked this question, what would be your answer?

Knowledge without borders and academic diversity

might be a good and important answer.

However, that does not seem to be enough to describe UST.

Communicative research field and convergence are also crucial, but not enough.

You may not even have noticed that creativity is already blooming in your mind.

UST has so many good things we wish to give you.

If we have to choose only one among them, it is creativity,

the starting point of everything.

We believe in the creativity in your mind.
