The Bachelor of Science with Honours in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence programme (BSCHDSAIJS/JUPAS JSSU70) aims to provide graduates with the breadth of an advanced understanding of theories and practices in the field of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
BSc (Hons) in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence is the 5th curriculum update of the “BSc (Hons) in Statistical Analysis” program which is launched in 2012. The School of S&T has a good practice of regular inspection of the program curriculum to ensure the offered programs meet the market needs. It is no doubt that effective and efficient usage of data in the digital world nowadays can help to foster a better world/society.
However, people who are competent in harvest useful insights from a vast amount of data require a particular set of skills which is different from those offered by traditional academic program curriculums.
To ensure our students to acquire appropriate skills, regular meetings with various parties are arranged. The curriculum of HKMU BSc(Hons) in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence is resulted from the recommendations given by industry professionals, academic professors and employers in business sectors.
To meet the employers' expectations, our curriculum incorporates SAS Institute official training materials and therefore students can take the Industrial certification (e.g. SAS programmer & SAS predictive modeler) examinations right after the completion of the respective courses.
Furthermore, students in this program are encouraged to expand their horizons via international organizations such as The Royal Statistical Society (RSS), The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), British Computer Society (BCS), Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

More and more information are available in the digital society nowadays and new generations should be able to comprehend and utilize them to solve practical problems. Our curriculum does not focus on teaching 'abstract' theories but emphasizing in enabling the student's capability to deliver a complete package of solution to practical problems.
Data science and AI are interdisciplinary as they draw on various disciplines, such as Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. Machine Learning is the core of data science and AI. It employs computer algorithms to interpret data and learn from the results for decision making and forecasting. Data science and AI can push forward business development, optimize business and operations, and create more attractive operating models. Data sources may come from tables, relational databases, texts, videos, audios, images, etc. Data scientists / AI specialists use data science methods, deep learning, machine learning and AI to discover clients, products, services, operations and market insights.
Graduates will be ready for entry-level roles of data scientists, AI specialist, data engineers, and data analysts in commercial firms and public institutions. To achieve this goal, the program aims to equip our graduates with four main competitive edges.
HKMU Computing Graduates regularly show their strength in problem solving and academic paper writing in inter-varsity contests and competitions. Since 2010, they have won over 30 prizes and awards, affirming their competitiveness among the UGC universities.
Please refer to the Student Achievements or Best Projects page for more details.
Data scientist is ranked number 1 in the United States (LinkedIn’s Most Promising Jobs of 2019), whereas AI specialist is ranked number 1 among the top 10 roles in the United States (LinkedIn’s 2020 Emerging Jobs Report).
Hong Kong has been lagging behind the US and the UK in the size of the data science and AI job market, but now the demand is very strong as typically hundreds of job vacancies are available at any one time. While many data science/AI jobs are operating in the business context, there are still a wide range of roles and job titles, reflecting the multi-talented nature of the area.
Graduates will be ready for entry-level roles of data scientists, AI specialists, data engineers, and data analysts in commercial firms and public institutions.
Graduates of this programme have been admitted to various postgraduate programmes in local and overseas universities. Graduates may choose to study for a postgraduate degree in an advanced area in Data Science or Artificial Intelligence or in other areas for the broadening of their exposure and skill set. Even pursuing for a doctoral research degree.

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.
