This programme is one of the leading Computer Science programmes in Hong Kong, providing students with a well-balanced curriculum and solid education in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computing. This foundation enables students to lead successful careers as professional software developers, system architects, system analysts, technology officers, etc. Besides acquiring a broad knowledge of Computer Science, students can elect to specialise in different technology streams, such as artificial intelligence, information security, multimedia, software engineering/project management or data science. In addition, our 9-month Information Technology Professional Placement provides students with the opportunity to put into practice what they have learnt in school and to gain valuable real-world work experience, giving them a head start in their careers.
課程旨在培養學生全面掌握電腦科學領域的理論和實踐知識，使他們能夠適應資訊技術的不斷發展，成為優秀的系統設計和開發專業人員。課程設計靈活，不僅幫助學生掌握扎實的基礎知識，並能使學生在特定的領域鑽研。學生可在大量的選修課程中，瞭解當今技術發展的最新動態。課程提供專業實習，使學生有機會在企業工作九個月，在專人指導下整合和實踐所學的理論知識和技能，為將來的事業發展積累經驗。
To be considered for admission, you must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements or have obtained an Associate Degree or Higher Diploma in engineering or a related discipline, or an equivalent qualification.
For senior-year (Advanced standing II) admission, applicants are normally expected to have completed an Associate Degree/Higher Diploma with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of ≥3.0 or an equivalent overall mark, or a credit award.

CS students will take a 9-month IT Professional Placement (ITPP) course and this structured placement/internship programme enables our students to integrate and apply what they have learnt in class in a real-world environment. Students perform IT-related projects/developments, and learn how to work as a team member in business or government organizations. In the past, we had students who work at international computer vendors, such as IBM; at banks such as HSBC and the Bank of East Asia; at the Hong Kong SAR government and related organisations such as the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, the Hospital Authority, the Housing Authority and other enterprises such as Hongkong Electric, Jardine, Matheson & Co., Limited, Siemens Ltd. and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited. During the placement year, students will take one day off weekly from work to study a number of courses. For more information, please visit the ITPP website.
If time permits, students may in addition opt for additional short-term overseas internships between the ITPP and semester start. For more information, please visit the University’s Career and Leadership Centre website.
Furthermore, for students to broaden their educational horizons, gain language experience and enhance their awareness of different cultures, the Department, College and University offer over 110 credit-bearing exchange programmes with various partner institutions around the world including universities in Australia, Canada, Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region. For details on Outgoing Exchange opportunities, please visit the University's Global Engagement Office website.
This programme is the first computer science programme in Hong Kong accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE).
