Key Summary
This programme is a unique undergraduate programme in Hong Kong which covers elements of systems design and process, engineering innovation and entrepreneurship, which are not offered by other local or overseas institutions. The programme prepares our students for successful careers in engineering innovation and enterprise, which are identified as a key component for Hong Kong’s future planning and growth. Our curriculum allows students to further specialise in different areas of expertise, including industrial Internet-of-Things, smart city, logistics and supply chain, robotics and automation. Our programme also has a placement component that allows students to gain real-world experience, which will provide a significant edge when students look for employment after graduation.
The proposed programme consists of a two-year block delivered by the College of Engineering and the College of Science, leveraging our strengths and industrial connections. This programme will cover the following components over the first two-year span:
- Understanding of the scientific principles and applications of innovation and enterprise engineering.
- A solid foundation in science subjects for the preparation of engineering exploration.
- Basic knowledge in relevant areas, including engineering enterprise, logistics and supply chain management, management science, technology innovation, optimisation, statistics and reliability.
- Ability to formulate and solve real intelligent systems and enterprise engineering problems, and provide high-quality solutions.
- Work-related experience and effective communication skills.
Upon completing the initial two-year period, students have the option to complete the remaining required courses in the programme or select other BEng programmes or obtain double major degrees in the College of Engineering if the student wishes to specialise in other engineering disciplines.
The proposed BEng in Innovation and Enterprise Engineering (IEEG) programme is to nurture a new generation of engineers with a mindset of innovation and entrepreneurship, facilitate opportunities for tech start-ups for young entrepreneurs, and promote university-industry collaboration.
International Academic Exchange Programmes
For students to broaden their educational horizons, gain language experience and enhance their awareness of different cultures, the Department, College and University offer over 110 credit-bearing exchange programmes with various partner institutions around the world including universities in Australia, Canada, Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region.

Industrial Placements
The College of Engineering and the Department offer work placement opportunities through various internship schemes that provide students with full-time job attachments in firms not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Pearl River Delta region and overseas. Through such placements, students will:
- gain valuable experience in a real world work environment;
- develop problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills;
- learn the right attitudes towards work and professionalism; and
- enhance their employability.
Our graduates are actively engaged in improving the operations of various enterprises in Hong Kong. Among their roles are:
- manufacturing and engineering in major corporations (e.g. assistant/senior engineers, quality assurance engineers);
- management/technology consulting/entrepreneurship in Big-4 and other major management consulting firms;
- operations management/business analysis in business enterprises (e.g. management trainees, business associates, business operation trainees)
- data science and business process automation in major corporations.
Entrance Scholarship Scheme
CityUHK has an Entrance Scholarship Scheme for international students with excellent academic performance who are admitted to full-time government-funded bachelor's degree programmes.
The Scheme offers three kinds of scholarships:
