Advanced Materials Science

专业介绍

Advanced materials substantially contribute to enhancing the competitiveness, resilience and strategic autonomy of modern industries. They are intentionally designed and engineered to display superior performance or special functions, which can be developed with unprecedented speed owing to the profound understanding of scientific principles and artificial intelligence-based computing power. Advanced materials are fundamental for innovation in energy, electronics, construction, and mobility, and therefore crucial for the green and digital transformation. The government of Hong Kong SAR aims to develop Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy and an innovation hub for high technology, leverage Hong Kong’s advantages to complement national development, and integrate Hong Kong into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. To achieve this target, the studies and development of advanced materials science will play an essential role.

CUHK is committed to advancing innovation and research, particularly in the field of Materials Science, aligning closely with the University’s overarching strategic goals. As a globally recognized research-intensive institution, CUHK continuously fosters collaboration between academia and industry, aiming to cultivate forward-thinking professionals capable of addressing the complex challenges of modern society. The establishment of the Master of Science in Advanced Materials Science programme, co-organized by Graduate Division of Chemistry and Graduate Division of Physics, directly responds to the growing demand for the development and application of advanced materials in Hong Kong, Greater Bay Area, mainland China, Asia and the global.
