BEng in Computer Science (COMP)
Approximately 20-25% of our COMP graduates pursue postgraduate studies immediately upon graduation. While many choose to advance their research in Hong Kong, a significant number are admitted to top-tier universities worldwide. Our alumni have successfully continued their studies at prestigious institutions including University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Stanford University, Princeton University, Yale University, Carnegie-Mellon University, Cornell University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Michigan, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Southern California, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Toronto.
Our graduates are highly sought after and consistently secure roles in their preferred professions. Many launch their careers at global tech giants—such as Google, IBM, HP, Intel, Baidu, Microsoft, and Oracle. Others apply their technological expertise within the business and financial sectors, joining premier institutions like Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, PwC, HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, and Bank of China. Additionally, a number of graduates pursue rewarding paths in government agencies or highly competitive corporate management trainee programs.
BSc in Computer Science (COSC)
The majority of COSC graduates pursue postgraduate studies; some start with Master’s degrees and some embark directly on Ph.D. degrees. The topics of their further studies depend on their interests and the other major in which they were first enrolled. While many of our alumni have pursued further studies in computer science, some have gone directly to doctoral studies in economics (Princeton), physics (Yale), applied math (Harvard), and neuroscience (Johns Hopkins), among others.
COSC graduates who do not undertake postgraduate studies usually pursue careers in areas related to software or finance. The actual jobs they take up often depend upon the other major in which they were enrolled. For example, COSC graduates whose second major was mathematics can work in algorithmic trading positions.
