The Best of Both Worlds
Intuition and rigour are both needed to solve important problems. In this programme, we teach students rigorous mathematical reasoning, and develop their intuition by equipping them with engineering techniques in information sciences. Information sciences identifies a variety of key problems based on real needs, and the mathematical training provides them with essential tools to solve these problems.
The Mathematics and Information Engineering (MIEGN) programme is jointly administered by the Department of Information Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Science of CUHK. This is a demanding programme, which is carefully designed for students with an aptitude for mathematics and information sciences, and an appetite for pursuing graduate studies.
Not sure what the future holds? Are artificial intelligence and machine learning here to stay? Or is quantum computing going to be the next big thing? Is cybersecurity and the design and safety of computer networks going to be ever more important in this connected age? Are we near the fundamental limits of rates for reliable communication? What if you could choose a major that could prepare you for any or all of these eventualities? One thing is clear: all of them require solutions that demand logical thinking and a solid understanding of the mathematical principles on which the current information systems are built. We cannot be prescient, but we can be best prepared for the future by equipping ourselves with foundational knowledge.
A broad foundation yields greater choices for your future. Our alumni have pursued graduate studies in diverse fields, such as electrical engineering, computer science and engineering, mathematics and finance. To craft your path, you need to choose your elective courses wisely (of course, we have experienced academic mentors to guide you) so that you can tailor the curriculum to prepare you for your future goals.
