Undergraduate Programmes
The School of Science and Engineering of CUHK-Shenzhen has established 7 undergraduate programmes: Material Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, New Energy Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Financial Engineering (offered jointly with the SME and the SDS).
The program blending theory with practice, cultivate students’ mathematical thinking, analytical skills, and standardized expression. It ensures a solid subject foundation, enabling students to discover, identify and solve problems using mathematical methods across a wide range of fields, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, energy, biology, engineering technology, scientific computing, internet technology, business, finance, management, life science and social science.
The program offers students a structured curriculum designed to cultivate students’ disciplinary expertise and interdisciplinary skills. This enables them to master the fundamental concepts, methods, and experimental techniques of physics. By participating cutting-edge lectures and research practices, students further broaden their knowledge horizons and enhance their ability to apply what they have learned to solve real-world problems.
The program is closely aligned with industry demands and is committed to cultivating talents with a strong background in chemistry and innovative skills. It integrates chemistry with various disciplines, including materials science, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, and artificial intelligence.
The program is ranked in the top 0.5% globally according to ESI and recognized as a Guangdong Provincial Key Construction Discipline, offering a comprehensive training system from undergraduate to postdoctoral levels. It integrates chemistry, physics, energy, and artificial intelligence, equipping students with diverse skills and expansive career opportunities. Close collaboration with industries and leading universities creates a dynamic learning and training environment, nurturing future leaders with global perspective.
This trans-disciplinary program aims to explore “smart energy system”, the emerging new form of energy development. It combines the traditional training of physics and materials science with modern element of biological engineering, photochemistry and electrochemistry. Apart from new energy courses, Basic Circuit Theory, Signals and Systems, and more advanced Statistics courses are also included. It integrates new energy study to data computation technique so that students could balance the training between energy and internet technique required by the smart energy system, and adapt the needs for energy-oriented composite talents in current job market.
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is a cutting-edge program that teaches the basic knowledge and skills of electronic information and computer engineering. Students will also have many opportunities to communicate and learn with world-renowned professors and leading industry practitioners inside and outside the classroom. Also, ECE programme will take advantages of the local industry in the Internet, communications and other electronic information areas to provide students with ample opportunities to interact with the local industry, which helps our students to better understand the industry trends and be equipped with entrepreneurship ability.
The program is set up to meet the finance industry’s demand for graduates with strong quantitative and analytical skills who have the potential to become leaders in the finance industry. Graduates are also equipped with sound financial modelling and forecasting skills, and are ideally suited to positions and tasks that require strong quantitative and analytical skills such as valuation, portfolio analysis, asset allocation, credit analysis, risk modelling, and structured finance.
