The general aim of the programme is to prepare students for a career in computer science or information technology related areas. Students will be equipped to work in the Information & Communication Technology industry or to pursue postgraduate study. This programme stresses on innovations in computing technologies and information systems, and their applications to real-world problems. It consists of three concentrations of study:

  • Computing and Software Technologies (CST) Concentration
  • Information Systems and Analytics (ISA) Concentration
  • Data and Media Communication (DMC) Concentration

The Computing and Software Technologies (CST) Concentration focuses on key concepts and principles behind the contemporary computing and software technologies, as well as the practices of the technological innovations in the ICT industry.

 

Unique Features

  • The CST and ISA concentrations have been granted full accreditation by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.
  • The DMC concentration is co-offered by the Department of Journalism under the School of Communication.
  • Students may choose double concentrations as follows: (i) CST+DMC; or (ii) ISA + DMC.

 

Student Learning Experiences

Students are able to gain IT work experience training through summer internship and 1-year placement opportunities. Also, the programme offers diversified overseas outreach opportunities for students such as study tours, overseas internship, overseas summer research programme and overseas study exchange.
