Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes
We equip graduates with the technical and academic skills necessary to excel in the areas of building sciences and building services engineering.
This programme addresses the demand for locally trained building services engineers with expertise in consultancy, contracting, building management, and research and development.
Our graduates possess a broad range of personal skills, including effective communication, critical thinking, independent learning, and innovative problem-solving.
Programme Characteristics
Students learn the art and science of providing safe, healthy, and energy-efficient built environments with minimal adverse ecological impacts. They are presented with intellectual challenges that prepare them to become industry leaders.
Our students have the opportunity to work in teams, lead small projects, and engage in independent study while collaborating with highly qualified professional staff. They also have access to various types of design software and laboratory facilities equipped with the latest building science and engineering applications, such as artificial intelligence and big data for smart buildings.
We offer local and international summer placement opportunities, and students participating in our Student Exchange Programme can study for a semester at partner universities in the United States, Europe, Australia, Russia, Southeast Asia, or Mainland China.
Our students frequently receive scholarships from professional bodies and major organisations in Hong Kong.
