HKU Faculty of Engineering – Master’s degree curricula - Engineering a greater future
[Sponsored Article]
The Faculty of Engineering is one of the founding faculties of The University of Hong Kong when it was established in 1912. Being one of the largest comprehensive engineering faculties in Hong Kong, it encompasses most if not all disciplines of engineering. Its five departments focus respectively on civil engineering, computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, and mechanical engineering.
The Faculty currently offers 13 master’s degree curricula which are taught by high-calibre HKU faculty members, internationally renowned professors from prestigious overseas universities, leading industrialists and practitioners. These curricula place a strong emphasis on high-quality education and applied research knowledge of professional and practical importance. Being kept under close review, they are updated whenever appropriate.
The brand-new interdisciplinary Master of Science in Financial Technology and Data Analytics curriculum, which will commence in the academic year 2021/22, is designed to nurture financial technologists and entrepreneurs with essential knowledge in both finance and technology. Through the courses, students will gain essential knowledge and skills, understand the latest technological developments in the industry and the requirements of the market, and be better prepared to contribute to the development of the FinTech industry in Hong Kong and the region.
At the beginning of the academic year, orientation programmes are offered to new students. In addition, career seminars and workshops are organised to introduce to students their career prospects. Recent graduates are also invited to share their experience. Besides, an academic adviser is appointed to each student. Discussions are not limited to academic matters, as students can also seek advice on topics like career development if they need. The Faculty also uses channels like staff-student consultative committees, course evaluations and student learning experience questionnaires to better understand student needs and expectations.
The Faculty is now inviting applications for 2021/22 admissions.
