Programme Description
The general aim of the programme is to prepare students for a career in computer science or information technology related areas. Students will be equipped to work in the Information & Communication Technology industry or to pursue postgraduate study. This programme stresses on innovations in computing technologies and information systems, and their applications to real-world problems. It consists of four concentrations of study:
- Computing and Software Technologies (CST) Concentration
- Information Systems and Analytics (ISA) Concentration
- Data and Media Communication (DMC) Concentration
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) Concentration
The Data and Media Communication (DMC) Concentration is offered together with the Department of Journalism having an interdisciplinary nature and a special emphasis on data analytics and journalistic principles and skills for media organisations as well as related industries. For details, please visit the concentration website at http://bu-dmc.hkbu.edu.hk/.
- The CST and ISA concentrations have been granted full accreditation by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.
- Students may choose double concentrations as follows: (i) CST + DMC; or (ii) ISA + DMC; or (iii) AI + DMC
Students are able to gain IT work experience training through summer internship and 1-year placement opportunities. Also, the programme offers diversified overseas outreach opportunities for students such as study tours, overseas internship, overseas summer research programme and overseas study exchange.
The advances in information technology over the past few decades have drastically transformed how people work, driving a growing demand for ICT talents across industries. Upon graduation, our undergraduates engage in diverse sectors, from tech giants, innovative startups to non-tech sectors such as retail, banking, and government organisations, taking on professional roles as systems analysts, programmers, data scientists, cybersecurity specialists, business analysts, IT auditors, and more.
With technology becoming increasingly integral to businesses of all sizes and sectors, the employment prospects for our graduates remain positive and promising, as their cutting-edge skills and professions are highly valued in the evolving job market.
