Besides acquiring a broad knowledge of Computer Science, students can elect to specialise in different technology streams, such as information security, multimedia, software engineering/project management or data science. In addition, our one-year 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. We provide students with a thorough grounding in the theoretical and practical aspects of the computer science discipline. This prepares them for successful careers as system architects and technology officers in the continually developing information technology environment. Our flexible curriculum enables students to develop a strong foundation in the overall discipline and specialisation in a particular area. Through a wide range of electives, our students can keep pace with trends in technology. This is one of the most popular computer science programmes in Hong Kong. We have student exchange partnerships with well-known universities including University College London (UK), University of Bath (UK), University of Sheffield (UK), University of Alicante (Spain), McGill University (Canada), University of Toronto (Canada), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (US) and Vanderbilt University (US), the University of New South Wales (Australia), Peking University (China) and Tsinghua University (China).
