skills with legal knowledge. We aim to provide you with
a solid education in computer networking, system administration
and security, multimedia computing and software development;
as well as the knowledge of Hong Kong’s legal system, contract
law and tort law.
We will prepare you for employment in a wide range of economic
sectors from information technology, legal, business, banking,
finance, to trading and logistics in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific
region. Our education will transform you into a well-trained
professional engineer who can (i) provide solutions, products
and services in different areas of IT applications; and
(ii) apply legal knowledge to professional engineering practice.
Graduates will also have a chance to get a Bachelor of Law
with Honours (LLB) with two more years of full-time study.
本課程旨在培育具備法學知識的專業資訊工程師。畢業生不但能結合理論、軟件及網絡技術，在資訊科技各應用層面提供解決方法及服務；亦對香港法律制度、合約法及侵權行為法等有認識。畢業生更可用最快兩年時間修畢法律學榮譽學士課程。主修科主要教授電腦及資訊科技知識，重點有數據通訊網絡、資料庫及系統管理、軟件開發與多媒體技術及應用等。副修科包括香港法律制度、合約法及侵權行為法。
Career
Prospect
With increasing litigations in information technology services
and products, there is an increasing demand for IT professionals
with law qualifications. According to the HKSARG’s Report
on Manpower Projection, IT manpower* requirement is projected
to rise at an average annual rate of 6.1%, the highest among
all economic sectors. The increase is expected to come mainly
from the transport, storage and communication sector; the
banking, finance, insurance, real estate and business services
sector; and the community, social and personal services
sector. In the past two years, employers from these sectors
have been competing for IT personnel* by offering increasingly
attractive pay for graduates. IT graduates with legal knowledge
will certainly be even more competitive in the job market.
*According to the Report, IT manpower/personnel
refers to those engaged in jobs related to IT management,
application systems development, e-business, Internet services,
telecommunications and networking, database, systems programming,
hardware support, operation support services, IT research
and product development, and IT education and training.
