关于举办香港大学计算机硕士课程与招生讲座的通知

内容提要：

The primary role of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong is teaching and research. We committed to high-quality education and training of computing professionals at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. At the postgraduate level, we offer two taught programmes based on coursework and project, the MSc(CS) and the MSc(ECom&IComp), as well as the research-based MPhil and PhD programmes. Our MSc(CS) programme has three specializations, namely Financial Computing Stream, Information Security Stream, and Multimedia Computing Stream, in addition to our traditional General Computer Science Stream. In ensure our graduates are able to work independently and able to put together what they learn in the programme, all our MSc(CS) students are required to complete a dissertation, which focuses on the integration and application of knowledge and skills that students have acquired throughout their studies. In this talk, we shall discuss the unique features of our MSc(CS) programme.
