BSc (Hons) Scheme in Computing and AI (Computer Science / Enterprise Information Systems) 電子計算及人工智能(榮譽)理學士組合課程 (計算機科學 / 企業信息管理)

COMPUTING & AI

Short Description

All admitted students will embark on a Common Year One curriculum. Towards the end of year one, students can decide whether to continue with their initial choice or switch to another choice within the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences. Those who wish to change to another choice need to join a competitive process through a ranking assessment, which considers a combination of entrance qualification score, Year One GPA, and interview performance.

The BSc (Hons) Scheme in Computing & AI comprises two awards. Students will be awarded one of the following awards upon successful completion of the graduation requirements of the programme concerned:

  • The BSc (Hons) in Computer Science [計算機科學(榮譽)理學士] aims to equip graduates with solid computing foundations in areas such as programming, computational thinking, data structures and algorithms, and become highly competent in software development for virtually all sectors.
  • The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Information Systems [企業信息管理(榮譽)理學士] aims to provide graduates with strong competence in investigating business systems, identifying improvement options and bridging the needs of business with the use of IT.

Remarks:
Students are allowed to enrol on any awards without being subject to further assessment.
