Introduction

The courses of Computer Science and Technology programme are designed for students who are interested in learning state-of-art computer science and its related technology that can be applied to real world problems. In this programme, students will develop theoretical, methodical, and technological research foundations on various computer systems with applications. UIC provides high quality teaching resources with laboratories to students in Computer Science to perform research and training in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Data Science, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Robotics, Autonomous Driving System, Quantum Finance and Program Trading, Visualization and Computer Graphics, Programming, Software Developments, etc. Further, a Data Centre was formed in collaboration with Industry to support big data research activities.

Objective

The programme is fully conducted in English. It is aimed at training innovative and qualified people in the fields of Information Technology, Networking, Artificial Intelligence, Data Management, and Software Engineering, etc. Upon graduation, students will have a strong background in their major research area and will have mastered skills in algorithm implementation, research cooperation, data analysis, and project management. Students can conduct creative theoretical and practical research independently with a scientific mindset. This will equip them with all the necessary skills for a computer science related career at colleges, universities, research institutes, government agencies and business enterprises.

Teaching Resources

Great care is taken to build up our professional team in the Computer Science and Technology Programme. Our professors come from various parts of China and other countries. Most of them received their doctorate degree from world leading universities. Our team members range from young passionate researchers to experienced well-known scholars.
