Undergraduate Admissions

The Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) at HKUST is an exciting place to study electronic and computer engineering. We are committed to undertaking world-class research and making exceptional students extraordinary. We have amassed a talented group of faculty members with PhDs from the world's top universities. They are internationally recognized as academic leaders, inventors, entrepreneurs, Editors of academic journals, and Fellows of peer societies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and are eager to bring the latest technical knowledge and insights into the classroom.

 

Our laboratories and classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for cutting-edge research and multimedia teaching. We strive to prepare students to become outstanding engineers and leaders in the ever-changing world of high technology. Our programs cover a wide scope of modern technologies including Biomedical Electronics, Computer Engineering, Ecotronics, Embedded Systems, IC Design, Microelectronics, Photonics, Signal and Information, System and Automation, and Wireless Communications and Networking. These areas are critical to the growth of our information-based society and mastering these technologies should open up vast career opportunities.

 

Students may enter our undergraduate programs through JUPAS Admissions or Direct Admissions. Besides academic development, our Department also provides students the opportunity to participate in enrichment activities such as internships, exchange programs, and student competitions for their personal growth.

 

Applicants seeking admission based on their Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) results should apply through the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS).

 

Students with HKDSE attainments will need to opt for the department they wish to join. In the first 2 to 3 semesters (1 to 1.5 years), they will take the compulsory University Core Curriculum Program and learn the fundamentals of the major programs of the department. Our Department also provides students the opportunity to participate in enrichment activities such as internships, exchange programs, and student competitions for their personal growth.

 

Admission Requirements

For admission, applicants must meet:

  1. the general entrance requirements, and
  2. the following Department-specific requirements:


Notes:
  • M1: Mathematics Extended Module 1 (Calculus & Statistics)
  • M2: Mathematics Extended Module 2 (Algebra & Calculus)
  • Chinese Language may be replaced by one of the “New Secondary School other languages” or another Chinese Language Qualification (e.g. IGCSE Chinese) if
    • Student has learned Chinese Language for less than 6 years while receiving primary and secondary education; or

International high school students or non-local applicants with an International Baccalaureate diploma or GCE A-Level / International A-Level, for example, should also apply through Direct Admissions. Applicants who are applying for admission on the basis of qualifications such as Higher Diplomas, Associate Degrees, or previous periods of successful full-time study at local education institutions, should apply to the University through Direct Admissions.

 

Admission Requirements

Graduates from high school, AND one of the international qualifications recognized by HKUST; A higher diploma or associate degree in engineering or a science discipline; or an equivalent qualification.

  • High School Students through GCE A-Level / International A-Level examinations
  • Higher Diploma Graduates from related disciplines:
    • Applied Physics
    • Applied Optics
    • Computer Aided Engineering Design
    • Computer and Information Engineering
    • Electronic and Communication Engineering
    • Electronic and Information Engineering
    • Electrical Engineering
    • Energy Management Services
    • Intelligent Building & Automation Engineering
    • Telecommunications and Networking
  • Associate Degree in Engineering
  • Any other equivalent qualification:
    a.    International Baccalaureate Diploma Program
    b.    GCE A-Level (GCEAL) / International A-Level (IAL)
    c.    SAT /ACT + AP 

 

Credit Transfer

The University has a credit transfer framework for students (depending on their basis of admission) admitted to our bachelor’s degree programs. Students with high school leaving qualifications may be granted up to 30 transfer credits which will count towards the minimum graduation requirement of 120 credits.
 

There are 2 categories of credit transfer for new students:

a.    University Common Core credits – up to 6 credits and 9 unassigned free credits (only applicable to students admitted on basis of IBDP and GCE A-Level / International A-Level results)

b.    Course-by-course mapping – credits are granted for specific subjects taken in specified exams on condition that students have obtained the required grade / mark.  Students who have been granted block transfer of credits to University Common Core as explained in point (a) above cannot transfer additional credits to common core courses through course-by-course mapping

While the actual numbers of transfer credits granted vary from students to students depending on the admission basis, the subjects that have been taken, and the level of attainment, our experience shows that most students admitted to the Engineering School with GCEAL / IAL / IBDP / AP are granted more than 20 credits.


Application Schedule    

  •  Application deadline: Early Round closes in mid Nov
  •  Interviews to be arranged starting in Nov - Dec
  •  Formal conditional offers to be given starting in Dec - Jan
