History
The predecessor of GSAS, NetBig.com synonymous with “Net University” in Chinese, was founded by Charles Huang in 1999. Over the past twenty years, we have worked with many world’s leading universities including MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Berkeley, etc. Today, we envision that the higher education sector in Hong Kong could benefit from a new school like GSAS, which will operate efficiently and effectively as a private non-profit institution providing high quality education at the intersection of advanced technology and industry application.
