Welcome to the program of Master of Science in Computer Science! The future of Hong Kong and China depends on their successful transformation into IT-based, knowledge-driven economies. Computer Science and Engineering is one of the important disciplines that can help to accelerate this transformation. The urgent need to transform the social economy has created ample opportunities and challenges, in particular, how to collaborate, and at the same time compete with, IT talent from other parts of the world; how to take advantage of globalization and its effects; how to quickly access and utilize the information that is gathered from the Internet; and how to create new knowledge and services for our society to become more productive.
