GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) [HKUST(GZ)] has announced early admissions for two Master of Science programs: MSc in Carbon Neutrality and Green Finance (MSc CNGF), and MSc in Technology and Policy (MSc TP). This early admission round offers several advantages, including eligibility for merit-based scholarships covering 25% to 50% of first-year tuition fees and early confirmation of study places. Applicants with outstanding academic backgrounds from top-ranked institutions, strong professional experience, or significant achievements are encouraged to apply.

"These programs represent the pioneering master's programs at Society Hub, providing training that helps students master skills to deal with the significant challenges we face today," said Prof. Wu, Associate Dean of Society Hub at HKUST(GZ).

HKUST(GZ) Launches Early Admissions with Scholarships for Two Future-Focused MSc Programs

SHANGHAI, May 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- INS LAND, the urban entertainment complex recently ranked No.12 in DJ Mag's 2026 Top 100 Clubs worldwide and No.3 in Asia, announced the opening of three new venues: Soul House, an immersive club; Radi, a fully reimagined and expanded reopening; and Jump, a new high-energy club featuring a spring-loaded dance floor designed to keep guests literally off the ground.

"Soul House, Radi, and Jump are our answer to 2026," said Leo Liu, Cofounder & Head of Brand and Growth at INS LAND. "Each one is a new chapter in INS LAND's vision of bringing the gaming world to life — with a single ticket, guests don't just visit a venue; they enter a world where experiences are reborn every 45 days."

The openings mark a strategic evolution ahead of INS LAND's third anniversary on June 16, 2026, shifting from a "club cluster" identity into a multi-format urban playground. The brand now spans 20 fully owned and operated venues under one ticketed ecosystem.

Soul House is INS LAND's most ambitious immersive concept to date. It features multiple themed rooms, each with its own narrative universe. Guests move through distinct worlds with beverage items, scenography, and storytelling elements, blending immersive theatre and spatial design into a layered experience.

Radi returns after a complete transformation, with an expanded footprint, upgraded sound and lighting systems, and a refreshed design direction positioning it as a signature, design-forward destination within the INS LAND portfolio.

Jump introduces a new experiential format centered on movement. Built around a spring-loaded dance floor, it features high-energy programming across electronic and bounce genres, designed to create a physically kinetic nightlife experience.
