Notes:
(1) Classes will be held in Tai Po Campus and Tseung Kwan O Study Centre / North Point Study Centre / Sports Centre / Kowloon Tong Satellite Study Centre as decided by the University.
(2) Students admitted into this programme are required to visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and/or other parts of Mainland China. The programme may also require students to participate in other non-local learning experience for completion of the programme. While the visits are subsidised, students are required to contribute part of the estimated cost of the visits ("students’ contribution"), whereas any personal entertainment, meals expenses, travel document fee and personal insurance costs shall be at students’ own expense. The estimated cost of the visits and students’ contribution for students admitted to the coming cohort is yet to be available due to a variety of factors such as inflation of cost of the visits, trip duration, traveling expenses, the exchange rate, etc.
Internship / Overseas Study Opportunities
A unique feature of the programme is the inclusion of internships at technology companies and educational organisations. The internship provides students with hands-on experience, enabling them to apply their knowledge and skills in key areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, educational technology, and data analytics. Through this opportunity, students will tackle practical challenges, build professional networks, and gain insights into industry operations. This immersive experience enriches their knowledge and provides a solid foundation for their future careers in artificial intelligence and educational technology.
Career Prospects / Professional Recognition
Graduates of this programme will be well-prepared for technical and support roles across various sectors, such as AI engineers, data scientists, software engineers, e-learning developers, educational technology specialists, and teaching assistants. Graduates can pursue roles in the IT industry, schools, educational technology companies, IT-related positions in other industries, as well as government and non-governmental organisations.
With experience, graduates have the potential to advance to leadership roles such as systems analysts and educational technology managers. Additionally, the programme provides a strong foundation for graduates who are interested in pursuing postgraduate studies in artificial intelligence, education, or information technology.
What Our Student Says
The BSc(AI&EdTech) programme has greatly shaped my professional and personal development, as well as my career planning. This programme offers many practical assignments that allow me to apply my knowledge to real problems. It was challenging at first, but gradually, I found that my programming and problem-solving skills improved a lot through this process.
Another highlight is the academic advising system, which provided me with invaluable support and guidance throughout my studies. Each student is assigned an advisor for four years, which helped me a lot when I was unsure about my future at the beginning of university. Through regular communication with my advisor, I developed a clearer plan and decided to join a research group after my first year of studies. By assisting PhD students in data collection and processing, I learned valuable research skills and started to work on my own projects as my experience grew. These experiences have provided a solid foundation for my practical assignments, internships, and Final Year Project.
Looking ahead, I hope to continue exploring AI and apply what I have learned to solve real-world problems and create a meaningful impact on society.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Artificial Intelligence and Educational Technology (Year 4 Student)
The BSc(AI&EdTech) programme equipped me with in-depth expertise in various Al fields, such as Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing. Crucially, it provided valuable internship opportunities for all students in this programme. In the summer of 2024, I worked as an intern at a leading EdTech firm and gained hands-on experience in applying AI to language learning tools. This real-world exposure, combined with coursework in Python and Machine Learning frameworks, sharpened both my technical skills and collaborative problem-solving abilities. The programme’s balance of theory and industry practice prepared me well for my role in developing accessible learning solutions. I am very grateful for the learning opportunities provided by the BSc(AI&EdTech) programme and will continue to research the integration of AI and education in the future.
