Programme Aims

The evolution of the technology and the rapid expansion of global economics have generated growing needs for professionals who understand the-state-of-the-art technology and possess the entrepreneurial management for a business success. There is an increasing demand in Hong Kong, Mainland & industrialized countries for those professionals. They are entrepreneurs and creators of tomorrow. The Master of Science in Advanced Technology and Management (MSATM) Programme aims to satisfy this need, by offering a world-class quality, in-depth education opportunity that covers the integration of advanced technologies and the enterprise management. 

Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (PILOs)

Upon successful completion of this programme, students will be able to:
1. apply state-of-the-art technologies to generate creative ethical solutions in setting up  business goals and strategies that turn a dream into a business success;
2. apply an extensive knowledge of planning, evaluating, designing and implementing advanced technologies in an integrated environment meeting the business goals and strategies;
3. apply analytical skills of multi-disciplinary, multi-variable engineering and engineering management to generate new ideals for the integration of technology and management; and
4. apply effective interdisciplinary communication skills of team work, documentation and Internet / web-based methods to develop a system that reflects increasingly customer-oriented, globally competitive and dynamically changing world markets.
