秋季的理学硕士课程于9月初开学，而春季的理学硕士课程则于2月初开学。因应学员个人学习进度，全日制课程将持续约1年，而兼读制课程将持续约2年。 

全日制学费分二期缴付，而兼读制学费则分四期缴付，获允许转换学分的新学员也需缴付全额学费。学员在学费涵盖期限以外修课、或因未能完成某些学课而要重修，学员亦需缴付额外学费。 

理学硕士（信息科技）课程的学员于在学起三年内(不包括请假假期)未能达到毕业要求、或学员修读额外学课或重修学课，需再按每门课的比例付费。 

理学硕士（土木基建工程及管理）课程 及 理学硕士（环境工程学及管理）课程的学员在学费涵盖期限以外修课或重修以符合毕业要求（例如：全日制学员在学超过四个学期，或兼读制学员在学超过六个学期），学员需缴付额外学费。

MSc（理学硕士）尤其适合于有意修读教学课程的学员；对于有兴趣进一步修读PhD（博士学位）的学员，MSc亦设有研究专题设计课目，让学员在国际一流的教师的指导下得到接触崭新科技的机会。不过这些学员亦可考虑申请立基于研究的MPhil硕士课程。在过去，约有4%的理学硕士课程全日制学员会在毕业后继续攻读MPhil硕士课程或博士学位课程。 

可以。根据非本地毕业生留港 / 回港就业安排 (IANG)，应届全日制非本地毕业生可以申请留港工作。他们只须符合一般的入境规定，便可留港12个月，而不受其他逗留条件限制。详情请浏览http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/IANG.html。 

课程办公室不会提供任何校外住宿安排。学生请自行租住校外之住宿，参考数据请浏览学务长办公室网页。

全日制学生可于入学后第一个秋季学期申请选读LANG 5030 English Communication for Postgraduate Engineering Studies。该课程满足工科理学硕士学生对于沟通的特定需求，例如在学术研讨会上担任主动角色的技巧。另外，透过大量的练习，学生可以提高他们在说话、聆听及英文写作方面的能力。评级为Ｐ或Ｆ。 

非本地学员可申请报读全日制或兼读制课程。全日制及兼读制学员，所接受的课程无论在水平与考核标准上都是相同的。兼读制课程特别适合于香港邻近地区如深圳的在职人仕报读。非本地学员来港就读，需申请全日制或兼读制课程的学生签证。有关学生签证的详情，请参考http://www.immd.gov.hk。请注意香港特别行政区政府人民入境事务处通常要求持有有效兼读制学生签证人士须于每课堂后出境离港。 

没有持有效签证可以留港就读的非本地学生均需申请学生签证。有效签证可包括准许持证者在港就读之工作签证或受养人身份签证。 

在港毕业的非本地学生虽可透过「本地毕业生留港 / 回港就业安排」 (IANG)申请签证留港就读，但在某些情况下，利用学生签证留港就读会较为恰当。例如：非本地学生如需要在中国内地申请某些认可资格，有可能需要递交学生签证。另外，非本地学生如有意在完成理学硕士课程后无条件留港，在完成理学硕士课程后才申请「本地毕业生留港 / 回港就业安排 」(IANG)较为恰当。

There is one intake every year. The Fall Term starts in September at the HKUST campus.

The intake is expected to be around 50-60 students.

For a 2-credit course, there are a total of 28 contact hours. There is usually one class per week for each course, so it takes 8 weeks (with the final week allotted for examination) to complete a course of 2 credits; whereas for a 3-credit course, there are a total of 42 contact hours and it takes 14 weeks to complete.

Yes, but credits for exempted courses have to be replaced by electives. Some courses can be exempted for students who have obtained certain qualifications with proof provided, such as transcripts and syllabi of courses taken within the past 7 years, when the content and level of the previous courses are equivalent to those of the exempted courses and satisfactory grades were achieved. Subject to the approval of the MSc FinTech Academic Director, students may apply for credit transfer of no more than THREE courses (6 credits) in the program.

We normally do not encourage students to extend their length of study. However, we do offer study extensions for students who cannot complete the program within the defined timeframe because of health reasons. All students must complete the whole program within 5 years.

Yes, students who do not have the right to reside in Hong Kong are required to apply for a student visa for entering into Hong Kong and studying a full-time master degree program. The Program Office will coordinate with the University’s Office of Postgraduate Studies to arrange student visas for all incoming students upon admission and prior to the commencement of the program. The duration of the student visa will cover the whole period of study in the program.

The part-time study mode is mostly for local students or working executives in Hong Kong or nearby regions whom can only attend classes during the weekday evenings or weekends. It takes normally 18-24 months to complete for the part-time program.

The students of the full-time study mode are mostly recent graduates or junior professionals who dedicate their full attention to the master study. The student body forms a diversified mix of local and non-local students, including the Greater China region, Asia Pacific, the Americas and Europe. Students attend classes on weekdays with a more intensive full-time curriculum. Students can complete the program by 12-16 months.

Program transfer between the full-time and part-time study modes after program commencement is normally NOT encouraged. Students have to be clear about their interest and time commitment in either study modes at the time of application and admission, and commit to their enrolled study mode throughout the course of study. Transfer between the study modes is considered on a case by case basis only with strong reasons, and is also subject to the approval of the Academic Directors of both study modes.
