is the backbone and infrastructure of the information age. Activities
such as E-commerce, information exchange and sharing all depend
on the efficiency and reliability of the network. A strong understanding
of Internet systems is essential for building advanced, flexible,
scalable and multi-platform IT systems. The core knowledge of
computer science, software development experience and Internet
expertise can largely enhance our students' competitiveness
in the sophisticated computer based and network driven world.
To this end, our programme provides a number of courses with
the latest contents aiming at developing the students' ability
to design client-server, N-tier, and total solution systems
on Internet. The related courses provided are: |

| Computer
and Network Systems |
| While
the software development on the network environment is increasingly
important, there is a high demand for network and system developers
to design and implement IT networks and computer systems. These
experts are required to have a wide range of knowledge of all
components of the system. The computer and network systems courses
are provided to prepare a student to become an expert in computer
hardware, operating systems and network technologies. These
courses are specially designed to provide advanced knowledge
in the platform and infrastructure for supporting the development
of sophisticated information systems: |

Design and Implementation - Final Year Project |
|
Our students can enhance and consolidate their ability with
hands-on experience by means of a year-long, close-supervised,
computer science project in local IT companies or universities.
In order to understand the immediate needs of the local industries,
our College has established good links with external institutions.
The final year project provides students with valuable working
experience in the industry, in which they can have a head-start
in the development of their professional careers and can have
chance to expose to the latest technologies.
The student projects aim to achieve the followings:
- Development of critical and logical thinking
- Actual application of the theory consolidated from core
subjects
- Practice in using the latest technology
- Insights gained from the supervision of internal advisors
and external professionals
- Development of a spirit of teamwork and proactive communication
skills.

| Elective
Courses |
| These
courses provide students with choices in composing their study
program. Students can take technical and other elective courses
according to their preferences, allowing a greater degree of
flexibility to suit individual interest and ability. Technical
elective courses focus on various specific fields, while other
elective courses offer cross-disciplinary choices. |

| Study
Progression |
| With
an elective curriculum of breadth and depth, our College provides
our students with flexibility to select different courses based
on their own interests and the areas of their expertise for
their future career plans. Students may wish to specialize towards
a particular domain of computer science knowledge. |
