Yeung Hoi-yan, Jeff, Ph.D Programme Director

Thank you for your interest in our Master of Science Programme in Information and Technology Management. This 18-month Programme will equip you with the latest knowledge in information technology and management, and give you an edge over others in the market place.

Professor Charles K. Kao’s groundbreaking achievements in the transmission of light in fibers have changed the world. Huge amounts of data can now be sent via fiber optics at high speed to virtually anywhere on the planet. Unlimited information, regardless of whether it is good or bad, true or false, value-added or useless, can circulate among fiber optic networks. Enterprises seeking to enhance their productivity, competitiveness and corporate performance need IT professionals who have the ability to manage this unlimited information.

It is not enough for an IT person to be “just” a programmer in today’s information rich business world. To achieve excellence in the field, an IT person needs skills in planning, strategic thinking, decision making, business analysis, creativity, project management and interpersonal communication. Our Master of Science Programme provides training in advanced management methodology and tools as well as the latest in information technology. We aim to develop our students to become T-shape professionals equipped with both in-depth technical knowledge and broad business skills.

This advanced Master Programme is designed for those with either an IT or a business background. IT people with an engineering background will gain the requisite knowledge in technology management, while executives with a business background will acquire cutting edge proficiency in IT. Our courses are taught by internationally renowned professors from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and professionals from the business world. Complementing these academic experts and professionals are distinguished industry leaders who regularly share their professional views and experiences with students in our courses.
