入学要求

To qualify for admission, applicants must meet all of the following requirements. Admission is selective and meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. 1. General Admission Requirements of the University Applicants seeking admission to a master's degree program should have obtained a bachelor’s degree from a recognized institution, or an approved equivalent qualification. 2. English Language Admission Requirements Applicants have to fulfill English Language requirements with one of the following proficiency attainments: TOEFL iBT: 80 (for tests taken prior to 21 January 2026) * 4.5 (for tests taken from 21 January 2026 onwards) * TOEFL pBT: 550 TOEFL Revised paper-delivered test: 60 (total scores for Reading, Listening and Writing sections) IELTS (Academic Module): Overall score: 6.5 and All sub-score: 5.5 * * Refers to scores in one single attempt only. Test at home option is not accepted. Applicants are not required to present TOEFL or IELTS score if their first language is English, or they obtained the bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from an institution where the medium of instruction was English. 3. Program-Specific Admission Requirements A bachelor's degree with second-class honors or above in Civil Engineering, or a related engineering area. 4. Additional Information Applicants with degrees in non-Civil Engineering areas may be required to complete remedial civil engineering courses prior to their study. Integrated Bachelor-Master Pathway Only for HKUST students in Year 3 or above who are studying a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Civil & Environmental Engineering with academic performance equivalent to second class honors or above. Successful applicants will receive a conditional offer for admission to MSc(DISC) and need to pay a deposit at the prevailing deposit rate. They will be allowed to start taking MSc(DISC) courses in their final year of undergraduate study, and will enter the MSc(DISC) Program upon successful completion of the undergraduate degree. Upon entering MSc(DISC), they can transfer up to 9 credits taken during the undergraduate study to fulfill the MSc(DISC) program requirements. They will pay tuition fee for the remaining credits on a pro-rata basis, with a minimum payment for 21 credits. 原文链接：https://prog-crs.ust.hk/pgprog/2027-28/msc-meng-disc/ 二、课程简介（英文原文） The Master of Science program in Digital and Sustainable Cities (DISC) is designed to equip students with cutting-edge knowledge and applications of emerging technologies in civil engineering such as 3D printing, digital twins, GIS, satellite remote sensing, cloud computing, construction robotics and modular integrated construction (MiC) as well as their future trends, in response to the growing demand in the industry for professionals skilled in digital technology, data science and sustainable urban infrastructure management. This program integrates digital technologies and sustainable urban design applications, which are essential for data-driven analysis for large-scale civil engineering and construction applications, preparing engineers to tackle any complex challenges they may face as they join local or worldwide efforts to innovate in smart city development, infrastructure, and construction industries. 三、学习目标（英文原文） On successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to: Identify and evaluate innovative solutions for sustainable infrastructural and social development, incorporating environmental, economic, and societal considerations. Apply advanced technologies, such as 3D printing, digital twins, remote sensing, GIS and Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), digital contracts, and low-altitude economy route mapping, to address complex challenges in urban design and management. Use relevant software tools and methodologies to conduct data-driven analysis for large-scale civil engineering and construction applications, in order to implement an evidence-based decision-making. Analyze the impact of emerging civil engineering technologies on industry practices, policy, and society, and propose strategies for implementation. Stay abreast of emerging trends and innovations in civil engineering and construction, fostering continuous learning and professional development. 四、课程设置（英文原文） Minimum Credit Requirement MSc : 30 credits MEng : 36 credits Credit Transfer Subject to the approval of the Program Director and the University regulations governing credit transfer, a maximum of 9 credits can be transferred to the program. Required Courses MSc/MEng : 24 credits The courses offered by the program are arranged in two categories. To ensure breadth of the curriculum, students must take at least 2 courses from each category. Digital Technology and Data Science DISC 5101 DISC 5102 DISC 5103 DISC 5104 DISC 5105 Sustainable Design and Management of Infrastructures DISC 5201 DISC 5202 DISC 5203 DISC 5204 DISC 5205 DISC 5206 DISC 5207 DISC 5208 Subject to the approval of the Program Director, students may take DISC 6000 which covers the above categories. DISC 6000 Subject to the approval of the Program Director, students may take a maximum of 9 credits from the following courses offered by other MSc programs as partial fulfillment of the program requirements. CSIT 5900 CSIT 5970 IBTM 5530 JEVE 5820 JEVE 5900 PPOL 5230 PPOL 5320 MSc Project MSc/MEng : 6 credits DISC 6980 Industrial Placement MEng : 6 credits DISC 6500 Subject to the approval of the Program Director, MSc students have an option to apply for transfer to the MEng Program after completing the MSc program requirements in the first year, and enroll in a year-long industrial placement in their second year of studies. Each student will be supervised by a workplace supervisor from the company and an industrial placement coordinator from HKUST. Credits earned from DISC 6500 cannot be counted toward the MSc program credit requirements. Remarks Part-time students may take a maximum of 9 credits in each term. Students failing to meet the graduation grade average (GGA) requirement of 2.850 or above are required to repeat or take additional course(s) even if they attain passing grades for all courses. Students who have transferred from the MSc to the MEng Program and completed the year-long internship will graduate with Master of Engineering (MEng) degree after meeting the graduation requirements. Students of the MEng Program may subsequently apply for transfer back to the MSc Program, subject to the approval of the Program Director.
