Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics Engineering 工學學士(機械人工程)
BEng(Robo)
Short Description
Robotics has evolved into a distinct engineering discipline, moving beyond fragmented efforts across separate fields to require highly integrated expertise for developing intelligent systems that can meet future challenges. The Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics Engineering (BEng(Robo)) is a four-year full-time interdisciplinary programme jointly offered by the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Data and Systems Engineering, and Civil Engineering, designed to nurture robotics engineers with holistic, systems-level thinking and strong cross-disciplinary capability.
It brings together the strengths of four departments and is underpinned by a distinctive Hong Kong–Shanghai two-city study roadmap with a dedicated HKD 50,000 studentship for Shanghai study, an experiential learning pedagogy, and tailored dual postgraduate support for academically outstanding students, including a research matching scheme and a HKD 100,000 entrance scholarship for taught postgraduate studies, thereby creating a comprehensive and forward-looking education model that nurtures a new generation of innovative robotics engineers.
Graduates will be well prepared to pursue careers and drive technological innovation across a wide spectrum of sectors, including robotics, intelligent manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, autonomous vehicles, drones, and other emerging technology fields. They will also be well positioned for further postgraduate studies in robotics, artificial intelligence, and related disciplines.
This programme is subject to the University’s approval.
Why This Programme:
- Interdisciplinary Robotics Training
- This interdisciplinary programme consolidates the expertise and learning resources of four departments into a coherent curriculum. The curriculum delivers systematic training that integrates robotic mechanism design, sensing and perception, motion control, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence, equipping students with solid engineering foundations and cross-disciplinary technical competencies to develop intelligent autonomous systems.
- Project-Based, Experiential Learning Pedagogy
- The programme adopts a project-based and experiential learning pedagogy, reinforcing theoretical knowledge through hands-on laboratories, multidisciplinary design projects, engineering training, and industrial practice.
- Hong Kong–Shanghai Two-City Study Model
- A studentship of HKD 50,000, covering round-trip airfare, nearby accommodation and a living allowance, supports students’ Year 3 study in Shanghai, integrating world-class academic teaching with first-hand industrial exposure to the innovation ecosystem of the Greater Bay Area and the advanced manufacturing hub of the Yangtze River Delta.
- Dual Postgraduate Support
- ROBO Undergraduate Research Matching Scheme
- The scheme provides early, matched research opportunities with professors in relevant robotics engineering areas for academically strong and passionate students in Year 2 or above.
- Seats are limited and will be subject to further screening and assessment.
- HKD 100,000 Robotics Master Degree Programme Entrance Scholarship
- Eligibility: Students with a cumulative GPA (CGPA) of 3.0 or higher in their undergraduate studies are eligible to apply for the scholarship, subject to admission to either the Master of Science in Engineering in Robotics and Intelligent Systems or the Master of Science in Engineering in Low Altitude Technology at HKU Engineering.
- ROBO Undergraduate Research Matching Scheme
