School of Computing and Data Science
The University of Hong Kong
To meet the growing importance of computing and AI literacy in the 21st century, HKU recognises the need to equip students with the necessary skills to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven world. The newly established School of Computing and Data Science (CDS) at the University of Hong Kong encompasses the existing Department of Computer Science and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. We have about 60 renowned scientists and 800 postgraduate students and offer 14 academic programmes.
The School, through a cross-faculty integration, will create a powerful synergy between computational technology, mathematical modelling and statistical reasoning that have become the cornerstones of modern data science and artificial intelligence. By combining the complementary strengths of computer science and statistics curricula, students graduating from the school will have strong analytical and computational skills. The School will also serve as a thriving hub for interdisciplinary academic and research collaborations, fostering partnerships with all other faculties that leverage the potential of modern data science and AI.
The taught postgraduate programmes offered by the School will provide students with the latest knowledge and skills in computing & data science technologies and prepare them for the demands of the industry and job market. The programmes will cover various areas, including but not limited to data science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, statistics and software engineering. The School works closely with industry partners to ensure that the programmes are up-to-date and relevant to the current demands of the industry. The school aims to produce well-equipped graduates who can contribute significantly to advancing knowledge and innovation.
Master Programmes Office is a people-friendly organisation. We respect and value our students and recognise they are busy professionals. The Office staff places major emphasis on customer service, responding quickly and precisely to requests by phone or email, ensuring that students’ interaction with the Office is as efficient as possible.
