Aims and Characteristics

Programme Aims

This programme aims to provide graduates of electronic engineering, information engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering, computer science and other related disciplines with an opportunity for further study at the postgraduate level. Students have a broad choice of core subjects in areas such as multimedia technologies, the internet of things (IoT), telecommunications and machine intelligence, offering them fresh challenges and new opportunities in relevant fields. Students can acquire the latest technical know-how by registering for specialised subjects in a chosen area that focuses on current issues facing the engineering profession today. Students who have managerial responsibilities can take electives in business or management according to their interests and career needs.

Characteristics

Application-oriented and practical curriculum that addresses the latest technologies and their applications
Modern and flexible teaching approach, with some subjects delivered in workshop mode
Subjects taught by eminent international and local experts
Emphasis on interactive and student-centred learning
Authentic and work-related assessments, allowing students to fully demonstrate their competence

The programme also provides two specialism study options:

MSc in Electronic and Information Engineering (Internet of Things)
電子及資訊工程學理學碩士學位（物聯網）

This specialism caters to the emerging needs of IoT experts in the industry and covers cutting-edge technologies, such as wireless communications, sensor networks and IoT applications, enabling students to develop advanced knowledge in these fields.

MSc in Electronic and Information Engineering (Multimedia Signal Processing and Communications)
電子及資訊工程學理學碩士學位（多媒體信號處理及通訊）

This specialism provides postgraduate-level professional and technical training to practitioners in the field, enabling them to keep pace with the ever-growing market needs and business opportunities related to multimedia technology.

Local students have the flexibility to vary their studies from semester to semester according to their personal aspirations. For example, a local student can study full-time in one semester and choose to switch to part-time study in the next semester, and vice versa. The flexibility of non-local students is constrained by visa requirements. Students can manage their own pace of study, subject to certain regulations on registration and assessment.
