Aims & Characteristics

Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes

We equip graduates with the technical and academic competence to excel in building sciences and engineering/building services engineering.

This programme meets the demand for locally trained building/building services engineers with expertise in consultancy, contracting, building management and research and development.

Our graduates have a broad range of personal skills, such as communicating effectively, thinking critically, learning independently and solving new problems innovatively.

Programme Characteristics

Students learn the art and science of providing safe, healthy, and energy-efficient built environments with minimal adverse ecological impacts. They also have opportunities to tackle intellectual challenges that prepare them to become managers in the industry.

Students have the opportunity to work in teams, lead small projects, work independently and interact with highly qualified and professional staff. They also have access to various design software and laboratory facilities for the latest building sciences and engineering applications, such as artificial intelligence and big data for smart buildings.

Local and overseas summer placement opportunities are offered.

Students who join the Student Exchange Programme can study for a semester at universities in the United States, Europe, Australia, Russia, Southeast Asia, or Mainland China.

Students are regularly awarded scholarships by professional bodies and major organisations in Hong Kong.

Recognition & Prospects

Professional Recognition

The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) has granted full accreditation to the BEng (Hons) in Building Sciences and Engineering.

Graduates of this programme may then qualify for Scheme A training with the HKIE in the following disciplines: (i) Building Services, (ii) Fire, (iii) Environmental*, and (iv) Energy. Academic programmes in the Building Services discipline that the HKIE accredits are reciprocally recognised by the UK's Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).

Upon completion of specific elective subjects.

Career Prospects

Graduates have good career prospects in the building construction and real estate sectors.

The rapid construction of new and state-of-the-art buildings in Hong Kong provides numerous and attractive local employment opportunities. As the programme is widely recognised, these opportunities extend to Mainland China and overseas.

Graduates often begin their careers as trainee engineers in government departments, consulting firms, contracting companies, property management companies, or utility companies.

First-class Honours graduates may consider research an attractive option, mainly because building development in Hong Kong embraces advanced technology worthy of in-depth investigation.
