Our Target

We aim to equip you with specialized modern knowledge in structural and geotechnical engineering relating specifically to the design of building structures. You will have an edge over typical civil engineering graduates because you have a broad-based knowledge of structural and geotechnical engineering, which mainly emphasizes building structures.

Start Your Career Here

The construction industry is one of the most important industries in Hong Kong, employing almost 10% of the workforce. A total of 650,000 housing units have been built over the past decade and this pace is expected to continue in order to cater for the needs of an expanding and increasingly affluent population. Graduates in Structural Engineering will continue to be in high demand.

How Do You Get In

To be eligible for admission, you must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements and the following specific entrance requirements:

  • E in two of the following HKALE subjects: Physics, Engineering Science, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Chemistry
        OR
  • E in one of the following HKALE subjects: Physics, Engineering Science, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Chemistry
    and
    E in two of the following HKALE AS subjects: Physics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematics and Statistics, Chemistry
       OR

  • A higher diploma or an associate degree in an engineering or a science discipline, or an equivalent qualification.
Forbidden combinations:
  • HKALE Physics/HKALE Engineering Science/HKALE AS Physics
  • HKALE Pure Mathematics/HKALE AS Mathematics and Statistics
  • HKALE Applied Mathematics/HKALE AS Applied Mathematics/HKALE AS Mathematics and Statistics
