常見問題

課程錄取通知以滾動式招生，先到先審查，並於每年11月及之後數月發出。 由於課程申請人數眾多，請盡早提交申請。 

秋季的理學碩士課程於9月初開學，而春季的理學碩士課程則於2月初開學。因應學員個人學習進度，全日制課程將持續約1年，而兼讀制課程將持續約2年。 

全日制學費分二期繳付，而兼讀制學費則分四期繳付，獲允許轉換學分的新學員也需繳付全額學費。學員在學費涵蓋期限以外修課、或因未能完成某些學課而要重修，學員亦需繳付額外學費。 

理學碩士（資訊科技）課程的學員於在學起三年內(不包括請假假期)未能達到畢業要求、或學員修讀額外學課或重修學課，需再按每門課的比例付費。 

理學碩士（土木基建工程及管理）課程 及 理學碩士（環境工程學及管理）課程的學員在學費涵蓋期限以外修課或重修以符合畢業要求（例如：全日制學員在學超過四個學期，或兼讀制學員在學超過六個學期），學員需繳付額外學費。 

大部分由工學院開辦予理學碩士、哲學碩士及哲學博士學生的研究生課程都在晚間上課。理學碩士課程的上課時間通常為週一至週五晚間7:30至10:20，或星期六早上10:00 至12:50或下午3:00至5:50。 

上課地點在香港科技大學清水灣校園內。 

碩士課程申請者須持有由認可大學所頒授的學士學位或其他認可的相關學歷。個別課程或會有指定的錄取要求，詳情請參閱Program Curriculum。 

你的申請證明人應該是有相當身份的人士，他很瞭解你（或曾經很瞭解你），能對你的品質及適宜就讀本課程方面做出評論。比如：你工作方面的有資歷的同事、經理或主管，你學校方面的教師、指導者或教授，或者是你熟悉的受尊敬的專家或你單位的領導。 

提交申請後，推薦人將通過電子郵件被邀請在線上填寫一份推薦報告。推薦人更可將推薦信附加在報告中。 

所有的課程講授和教學資料均為英語。如果申請者畢業於不是以英語作為教學語言的大學，則需遞交英語能力證明的正式文本。詳情請按此。 

各項獎學金可供申請。 詳情請查閱奬學金及資助網頁。

MSc（理學碩士）尤其適合於有意修讀教學課程的學員；對於有興趣進一步修讀PhD（博士學位）的學員，MSc亦設有研究專題設計課目，讓學員在國際一流的教師的指導下得到接觸嶄新科技的機會。不過這些學員亦可考慮申請立基於研究的MPhil碩士課程。在過去，約有4%的理學碩士課程全日制學員會在畢業後繼續攻讀MPhil碩士課程或博士學位課程。 

可以。根據非本地畢業生留港 / 回港就業安排 (IANG)，應屆全日制非本地畢業生可以申請留港工作。他們只須符合一般的入境規定，便可留港12個月，而不受其他逗留條件限制。詳情請瀏覽http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/IANG.html。 

課程辦公室不會提供任何校外住宿安排。學生請自行租住校外之住宿，參考資料請瀏覽學務長辦公室網頁。

全日制學生可於入學後第一個秋季學期申請選讀LANG 5030 English Communication for Postgraduate Engineering Studies。該課程滿足工科理學碩士學生對於溝通的特定需求，例如在學術研討會上擔任主動角色的技巧。另外，透過大量的練習，學生可以提高他們在說話、聆聽及英文寫作方面的能力。評級為Ｐ或Ｆ。 

非本地學員可申請報讀全日制或兼讀制課程。全日制及兼讀制學員，所接受的課程無論在水平與考核標準上都是相同的。兼讀制課程特別適合於香港鄰近地區如深圳的在職人仕報讀。非本地學員來港就讀，需申請全日制或兼讀制課程的學生簽證。有關學生簽證的詳情，請參考http://www.immd.gov.hk。請注意香港特別行政區政府人民入境事務處通常要求持有有效兼讀制學生簽証人士須於每課堂後出境離港。 

沒有持有效簽證可以留港就讀的非本地學生均需申請學生簽證。有效簽證可包括准許持證者在港就讀之工作簽證或受養人身份簽證。 

在港畢業的非本地學生雖可透過「本地畢業生留港 / 回港就業安排」 (IANG)申請簽證留港就讀，但在某些情況下，利用學生簽證留港就讀會較為恰當。例如：非本地學生如需要在中國內地申請某些認可資格，有可能需要遞交學生簽證。另外，非本地學生如有意在完成理學碩士課程後無條件留港，在完成理學碩士課程後才申請「本地畢業生留港 / 回港就業安排 」(IANG)較為恰當。 

請瀏覽 http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/study.html 了解更多有關資料。成功獲得錄取的申請者將獲通知申請學生簽證事宜。 

學生接受錄取以後，應把入學前所需要的文件和/或學生簽證遞交到 HKUST Fok Ying Tung Graduate School (FYTGS) 以作處理。詳情請參閱FYTGS的網站。 

最新的入學申請消息會顯示於你在Online Admission System 遞交的網上申請中，申請者應定期瀏覽以獲得最新資訊。 

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.
