| MSCQACMF |
| Face-to-face postgraduate programme (full-time or part-time) |
The MSCQACMF and PDQACMF programmes are phasing out starting from the 2021 Spring Term.
This programme is designed for those learners who wish to enhance their quantitative skills, and who are interested in embarking on a career in the fields of engineering, managerial science, business analysis, computing technology, financial services, education or research. The programme will provide rigorous training in quantitative analysis for decision making, as well as in computational methods for simulation and prediction.
Full-time and part-time students can normally complete the programme in 1 year to 2 years.
| Programme-specific entry requirements: | |
| (a) | a Bachelor's Degree, or equivalent, in a related discipline from a recognized institution; or |
| (b) | a Bachelor's Degree, or equivalent, in any academic discipline from a recognized institution plus at least two years' working experience in relevant fields; or |
| (c) | a Postgraduate Certificate in Quantitative Analysis awarded by OUHK, or equivalent; or |
| (d) | a Postgraduate Certificate in Computational Mathematics awarded by OUHK, or equivalent. |
The following new programme structure will be applied to current students who enrolled in/after September 2018 intake:

Jonathan handles all external affairs include business development, patents write up and public relations. He is frequently interviewed by media and is considered a pioneer in 3D printing products.
After graduating from OUHK, Krutz obtained an M.Sc. in Engineering Management from CityU. He is now completing his second master degree, M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering, at CUHK. Krutz has a wide range of working experience. He has been with Siemens, VTech, and PCCW.
Hugo Leung Wai-yin, who graduated from his four-year programme in 2015, won the Best Paper Award for his ‘intelligent pill-dispenser’ design at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering’s International Conference on Consumer Electronics – China 2015.
The pill-dispenser alerts patients via sound and LED flashes to pre-set dosage and time intervals. Unlike units currently on the market, Hugo’s design connects to any mobile phone globally. In explaining how it works, he said: ‘There are three layers in the portable pillbox. The lowest level is a controller with various devices which can be connected to mobile phones in remote locations. Patients are alerted by a sound alarm and flashes. Should they fail to follow their prescribed regime, data can be sent via SMS to relatives and friends for follow up.’ The pill-dispenser has four medicine slots, plus a back-up with a LED alert, topped by a 500ml water bottle. It took Hugo three months of research and coding to complete his design, but he feels it was worth all his time and effort.
Hugo’s public examination results were disappointing and he was at a loss about his future before enrolling at the OUHK, which he now realizes was a major turning point in his life. He is grateful for the OUHK’s learning environment, its industry links and the positive guidance and encouragement from his teachers. The University is now exploring the commercial potential of his design with a pharmaceutical company. He hopes that this will benefit the elderly and chronically ill, as well as the society at large.
Soon after completing his studies, Hugo joined an automation technology company as an assistant engineer. He is responsible for the design and development of automation devices. The target is to minimize human labor and increase the quality of products. He is developing products which are used in various sections, including healthcare, manufacturing and consumer electronics.
