On 8 January 2022, COMP hosted an online info seminar to introduce the Master of Science in Information Technology (MScIT) programme during PolyU Info Day for Taught Postgraduate Programmes, attracting more than 150 participants.
Dr Korris Chung, Associate Professor and MSc Scheme Coordinator began the seminar by briefly introducing the Department. He then shared the trend of hot IT topics including Artificial Intelligence and Big Data with the attendees while Dr Daniel Luo, Associate Professor, talked about the development of Financial Technology. Dr Ken Yiu, Associate Professor and MScIT Programme Leader, further illustrated the programme structure, subjects offered, study patterns, admission requirements, etc.
In response to the rapid development of the global IT industry and the huge demand for AI and fintech talents, two streams are introduced in the MScIT programme: “Stream in AI and Big Data” and “Stream in AI and FinTech”. Students enjoy the flexibility to choose their specialisms based on their own career goals and study plan. With the extensive network of COMP MSc alumni, students can acquire both advanced expertise and professional networks that help them scale new heights in their careers.
The seminar provided prospective students with an excellent opportunity to obtain first-hand information about our MSc programme and academic advice from COMP faculty members.
