Established in 1990, the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) has become renowned for setting a strong pace for excellence in research and teaching while maintaining close and mutually beneficial links with various sectors throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The College not only strives to provide excellent higher education opportunities, but also aspires to nurture and develop individual talent using an applicable knowledge base that is always abreast and fully supportive of on-going social changes and economic advances.
The College benefits from an exceptional combination of science and engineering facilities that enable the faculty to use their innovative skills in teaching, learning and research. Through the synergy of the various science and engineering units, the CSE achieves and maintains an interdisciplinary world that facilitates a high-quality learning environment.
On the teaching front, the College strives to instil in its students the four Is: an International outlook, an Interdisciplinary background, an Innovative approach and Interpersonal skills. Our endeavours to realise these four I’s are exemplified in the following:
Students will be admitted to the College of Science and Engineering via the Engineering or Science routes.
JUPAS Applicants
HKDSE students will apply for admission to the College of Science and Engineering via the Engineering or Science route and select their major after their first year in our College. Students will study a broad range of Gateway Education (GE) and core-curricular courses designed by the College. At the end of the first year, the top 20% of students [based on (i) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; and (iii) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B] will have free choice of the majors offered under the College of Science and Engineering (Engineering). The other 80% of students will be allocated to a major of their choice, subject to the availability of places and the selection criteria set by individual academic units.
Direct/Non-JUPAS Applicants
The direct/ non-JUPAS route is for those applicants who do not have Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) results, or for those who have those results but also possess other qualifications. Depending on the variety of qualifications the applicant possesses, the entrance requirements and admission arrangements may vary. Please click here for more information.

| Our Target |
To provide the solid foundation necessary for students to embark on a successful career in the Information Systems, Networking, System Administration, Software Development and Multimedia Computing fields. Three popular and professional technical training programmes are integrated into the major structure. They are:
The strong knowledge base gained in this major prepares graduates for further studies or employment in a wide range of economic sectors, mainly technology, but also business, banking, finance and trading in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region.
|
||||||
| Start Your Career Here |
The Hong Kong SAR Government has identified Information Technology as an area that will receive focused support, with manpower projections showing the technology sector as displaying the fastest growth. Even in the banking, finance, business services, trading, legal and public administration sectors, personnel with a solid background in technology are in great demand in this increasingly complex technological age. |
||||||
| What You Will Be Studying |
This major focuses on four areas: Data Communication Networks, Computer System Administration, Software Development, and Multimedia Computing.
In the final year, students may specialise in different areas of interest in preparation for their future careers and enjoy considerable flexibility in the designing of their direction through the selection of elective courses on topics such as advanced networking technologies, Internet computing, multimedia technology and network security. |

| Co-curricular Activities and Learning Support |
Industrial Placement Scheme (IPS) The Department runs an Industrial Placement Scheme, which was launched in 2010/11. In collaboration with the industry, the Scheme aims to provide students with real work experience during their university years to better prepare them for employment after graduation. The Scheme starts at the beginning of year 2 or 3 in the 3-year major/4-year curriculum and continues until graduation. There are three interrelated stages under the Scheme:
The Department places great emphasis on students' experiential learning. This adds more value to the major and enhances students’ employability upon graduation. Around 150 places will be secured each year for this Scheme.
Additional internship schemes that have been in place for many years include the Industrial Attachment Scheme (IAS), the Overseas Internship Scheme (OIS), and the 12-month Co-operative Education Scheme (CES). Some students are offered jobs directly by the partner companies upon their graduation.
International Exchange One of the Department’s goals is to elevate students’ global outreach and international competitiveness by raising the proportion of students joining student exchange programmes. In the recent past, a yearly average of around 20 students successfully grasped the chance to participate in exchanges with top universities in the USA, Singapore, Finland, Germany, Canada, Korea and mainland China. Likewise, due to the urgency of internationalisation, our department has annually hosted around 20 inbound exchange students from Turkey, Korea, Germany, the USA and mainland China. Their affiliation contributes to a multicultural environment that widens our students’ horizons.
Course Tutoring Scheme Student learning is always the Department’s top priority, facilitated by the Course Tutoring Scheme, which is a well-received initiative that was introduced in 2010/11. The scheme is designed to nurture good learning skills in our students, particularly during their first year. Outstanding senior students are assigned as Student Tutors and participate in tutorial classes and guide students through the course content during and outside tutorial hours. The scheme not only enhances students’ understanding of course content, but also creates a positive learning atmosphere among peers. |

| Scholarship |
Each year, some 70 scholarships worth over HK$900,000 are secured for students in the Department of Electronic Engineering. |
