Our Target

We aim to equip students with specialised advanced knowledge of civil engineering with particular edges in structural engineering, and infrastructure and urbanism. You will be able to master the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures, various foundations and retaining walls, green construction systems, and transportation systems.


Entrance Requirements for Direct/Non-JUPAS Applicants

To be considered for admission, you must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements and the following major-specific entrance requirements:
•   level 3 or above in HKDSE Mathematics;
•   grade C or above in GCE A Level Mathematics;
•   subject score of 4 or above in the IB Mathematics subject group; OR
•   other qualifications equivalent to any one of the above and approved by the University.

For senior-year (Advanced Standing II) admission, applicants are normally expected to have completed an Associate Degree/Higher Diploma in Civil Engineering and a CGPA ≥ 3.0 in the scale with 4.3 maximum or equivalent.

HKDSE students will apply for admission to first-year studies (JS1201) through JUPAS.

Start Your Career Here

The construction industry is one of the most important industries in Hong Kong and employs almost 10% of the workforce. A large number of buildings and infrastructures have been built over the past decade and this pace of development is expected to continue to cater to the needs of an expanding and increasingly affluent population. As such, civil engineering graduates will remain in high demand.


Industrial Academic Exchange Programmes

The College of Engineering and the Department offer work placement opportunities through internship schemes that provide students with full-time job attachments to firms not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Pearl River Delta region and overseas. Through such placements, students

  • gain solid experience in a real-life work environment;
  • develop problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills;
  • learn the right attitudes towards work and professionalism; and
  • broaden their experience and enhance their employability. 

For details, please visit the College’s Co-operative Education website.

Furthermore, to help students 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.
