Under the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies, the Dual Degree Program in Technology & Management (T&M-DDP) is designed to provide a world-class interdisciplinary education that emphasizes technological innovation and managerial leadership with an inclination towards a global perspective. T&M-DDP, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, offers high-caliber students an inspiring opportunity to gain two internationally-recognized degrees in five years: Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or Bachelor of Science (BSc), and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA).
T&M-DDP empowers students the skills to analyze issues from both technological and business viewpoints and to solve problems with both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Students also develop awareness of different cultures and global perspectives and foster a willingness to serve. With double degrees in technology and management, our graduates have a wide variety of career advancement opportunities.
Curriculum
As a fully-integrated program, T&M-DDP offers a holistic curriculum where students study engineering/science and business courses every year. In addition to the major disciplines, students are exposed to courses in mathematics, entrepreneurship, social science and humanities, and business communications in English and Chinese which sharpen their analytical skills, critical thinking, and broaden their horizons. The program is challenging yet rewarding as it delivers exclusive opportunities for students to acquire broad and deep knowledge in technology and management.
