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 is designed to give students a firm grounding in mathematics and cultivate their mathematical thinking ability, analytical research ability, and standardized expression ability, so that students have a solid subject foundation and the ability to discover, identify and solve problems using mathematical methods. In addition to fundamental mathematical theories, students will be trained in applying mathematical methods to find and solve practical problems in areas as diverse as physics, chemistry, energy, biology, engineering technology, scientific computing, internet technology, business, finance, management, life science and social science.
The Physics programme is to expose students to physics concepts and cutting-edge technologies in physics through a comprehensive curriculum based on lab practices. After four years of rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences, students will master fundamental physics experimental techniques, broaden the horizon of their knowledge in related fields, and have the ability to use physics to build models, solve real-world problems, and conduct experimental tests.
Chemistry is a central subject of natural science and one of the most influential areas of modern natural science necessary for connecting scientific and engineering technology. Chemistry is a branch of science that bridges the past and the future, and plays a fundamental, leading and promotional role in the development of related disciplines. As a scientific study of the properties, composition, structure, transformation and application of matter, chemistry is the primary means of discovering and creating new substances.
Materials Science and Engineering provides students with rigorous and complete basic training in modern materials science, so that students can master the core knowledge system of Materials Science and Engineering, know the ideas and methods of how materials science understand the world and correctly recognize the importance and potential development of this major.
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 programme 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 equipped with sound financial modeling 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 modeling, and structured finance. The programme also provides a good foundation for careers in investment banking, commercial and corporate banking and financial services.
