Students gain a sound foundation in the relevant disciplines through practical hands-on projects and extensive exposure to real-world scenarios via industrial placements and overseas exchange arrangements, with a view to attaining the dynamic levels and standards required by highly competitive markets such as Hong Kong and Mainland China. Graduates are able to contribute their specialist skills, competencies and multi-disciplinary knowledge to a wealth of related industrial sectors such as nuclear engineering, power generation, materials engineering, radiation protection, radiation dosimetry, medical equipment, risk engineering, safety engineering, insurance and disaster management. There are eight main building blocks in this major: - General Science and Engineering - Nuclear Engineering - Nuclear Medicine and Medical Radiation - Materials Engineering - Risk Engineering - Crisis Management - Integrative Project - Language and Out-of-Discipline Studies Innovative teaching approaches are adopted in the delivery of the curriculum to integrate theories with industrial practices. Problem-solving activities, experience-based learning, integrative workshops, industrial attachment, co-operative education and industry-based projects are the typical means for helping students achieve their targets.

To be considered for admission, you must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements and have studied an engineering-related discipline at a high school or post-secondary institution OR 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 in engineering-related discipline. Applicants who have learned Chinese Language for less than 6 years while receiving primary and secondary education or learned Chinese Language for 6 years or more in schools but have been taught an adapted and simpler Chinese Language curriculum not normally applicable to the majority of students in local schools, can use the following qualifications to replace HKDSE Chinese Language level 3 to meet the entrance requirement for Chinese Language: • HKDSE Applied Learning Chinese “Attained” or above • GCEAL/AS Chinese grade E or above • GCSE/IGCSE Chinese grade C or above.
