Programme Characteristics

BSc (Hons) Scheme in Computing & AI

• Common first year: students admitted to the Scheme do not need to decide on the final award in the first year of study and can select their study paths in the second year.
• Rich study pathways: the programme’s relatively few core credits give students the flexibility to take on a Minor study in other disciplines they are interested in, such as Business Administration, Financial Services, Social Science or other Engineering disciplines. They can also take additional Computing subjects to continue or specialise in one or more technical stream.
• Applied and practical: the curriculum covers up-to-date practical skills in both content and teaching methodology, e.g., iPhone technology.
• Master’s degree: students can be admitted into the Department’s Master’s programme. They can gain a Master’s degree with one extra year of study.
• Recognition and Scholarship: many departmental scholarships are available for students, recognising both their academic and non-academic performance.

BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Information Systems

• A balanced curriculum that covers technology, management and business and emphasises computing techniques and applications, and software design and development skills in the business sector, such as logistics, customer relationship, audit and control.
• Minor option: students can apply to pursue a Minor study in any discipline.
• Students with backgrounds in Arts, Science or Business can apply.
