Course overview

The Master of Science in Electronic Commerce and Internet Computing [MSc(ECom&IComp)] curriculum is the first in Hong Kong to bridge business and technology. It is a comprehensive and dynamic programme designed for business executive and managers, technologists, senior administrators and other with IT-related responsibilities, to equip them with advance knowledge about technology development and business opportunities in electronic commerce on the Internet.

The curriculum is aimed to help students develop their critical, independent, life-long learning skills in the area of e-commerce and Internet computing so that long after they exit from the programme, they can continue to be able to separate the hype from the reality, to analyze new developments, synthesize and integrate them with established, sound structures and concepts, and to spot niches and opportunities for entrepreneurial ventures.

Students are required to successfully complete 72 credits to graduate. The mode of study may comprise 48 credits of courses plus a dissertation (equivalent to 24 credits) or 60 credits of courses plus a case study project (equivalent to 12 credits).
