香港理工大學(xué)

The BSc(Hons) in Computing aims to equip graduates with solid computing foundations in areas such as programming, computational thinking and data structure so they can develop professional computer systems and software. Students gain strong problem-solving abilities and become highly competent in software development for virtually all sectors.

Broad Discipline of Computing

• Common first year: students admitted to the Broad Discipline do not need to decide on the final award in the first year of study, and only need to select their study paths in the second year.
• Rich study pathways: the core credits of the programme is on the low side, providing a lot of room for students to take a Minor study in their own interested disciplines, such as Business Administration, Financial Services, Social Science, or other Engineering disciplines. They can also take additional subjects in Computing to strengthen and specialize in one or more technical streams.
• Applied and practical: the curriculum covers up-to-date practical skills, both in content and teaching methodology, e.g. iPhone technology.
• Master's degree: the Department provides articulation to students for admission into the Master's programme that it offers. They can receive a Master's degree with one extra year of study.
• Recognition and Scholarship: many scholarships are available for students, recognizing their academic and non-academic performance.
